This episode is in partnership with Boston Biotechnology Summit, a bridge to collaboration and innovative synergies between healthcare stakeholders. I sat with Jean Garrec, Founder and CEO of Biophta to talk about entrepreneurship in the biotech world. Listen to Jean's story, his leadership beliefs, and his journey in founding and building his biotech startup. Jean reminded all of us about our noble purpose; it all starts and ends with and for the patients we serve.
