Dr. Meera Garcia, CEO of new startup Lantern Laboratory and former Chief Medical Officer of Advantia Health, talks to us about the limitations of what anesthesiologists can know today about our brains while in surgery; how her new startup (based on innovations emerging from the lab of Dr. Paul Garcia, who is also Meera’s husband) provides far more information for anesthesiologists; how, despite her impressive background in human health, she had to learn the skills behind launching her startup company; and what it has been like being a female CEO in a male-dominated startup world.
