CancerPath is an exciting new company that's looking to connect scientists directly to cancer patients. Cancer patients are struggling to understand the scientific terminology that's part of their diagnosis. We are looking to recruit current PhD graduate students and Postdocs to directly interact with patients. In 2021, Gautam used his UM PhD to help two cancer patients get access to better care! Turns out there is also an exciting business opportunity, and CancerPath was born. If you are interested in being a part of the team, or just learning more about startup culture, please attend! This event is open to all PhD students and postdocs, not just with a Cancer focus (Gautam's was in Diabetes).
Dr. Gautam Rajpal is the CEO of CancerPath, a patient platform ensuring access for all to cutting-edge cancer therapies. He did his Postdoc and PhD at Michigan, and while there, was part of the founding team of MiLead. Gautam was a Product Manager at Charles River Laboratories, a Management Consultant at IQVIA, and Head of US Operations for an Oncology Biotech.
Lunch will be served.
