About this listen

 In the pilot episode of Boba & Biotech, I try out a homemade milk tea with my long time friend and colleague, Shirley Mao. The goal of this episode is to invite listeners into my world - inside and outside of work - and to share the vision behind this brand-new podcast. It's also the fastest way to figure out if I’m boring or insufferable :) From an early interest in math and science, to Stanford, MIT, and the leap from academia into entrepreneurship, the conversation traces what it really takes to turn discovery into real-world impact. We unpack the highs and lows of founding the first company, SQZ Biotech - from early scientific validation and a pivotal Roche partnership to hard-earned leadership lessons along the way. We also chat about why biotech’s public image misses the mark, how jaded leadership can emerge, and why human clinical translation, not discovery, is the hardest and most important part of the journey.
