In our debut episode, we kick off our podcast journey with a chat about our academic escapades and how they led us to create Cell Your Idea. We discuss our journey into science and research on neurodegenerative disorders. We reveal what it's like to build a startup that tackles Parkinson's diagnostics as a student in London, including all the challenges and the importance of translating scientific findings into real-world applications. We draw on our student experiences to set the stage for exciting biotech tales to come!
