Nina Tandon hates that we replace our worn-out bones with metal and plastic. So her company Epibone is using nature's own "science fiction" to bio-cultivate bones from our own body's stem cells. The New York-based startup is now beginning human trials of its revolutionary bone-reconstruction technology – offering new hope to patients with bone loss from cancer, accidents or congenital defects. Nina is honest about the challenges in building a clinical business in a highly regulated field – but shares how her "SOS network" helps her navigate the tough moments. Nina is part of the VOYAGERS community of impact-driven people supporting each other.
