    Isaac Stoner on the BIZ with Dr. Kambiz!

    Isaac Stoner, CEO of MindImmune Therapeutics, joins Dr. Kambiz for a straight-talking conversation about what has gone wrong in US biotech and what would actually fix it. Isaac has made the case that the industry has drifted toward me-too and me-better assets. Here he digs into what he thinks the real answer is, investment in early-stage innovation, along with what it takes to build a company like MindImmune. Isaac also runs Boston's Biotech n' Beer Meetup, so we get into why the Kendall Square community still matters and what happens when founders, investors, and scientists end up in the same room.

    Michael Bunsick on the BIZ with Dr. Kambiz!

    Michael Bunsick (mb9677@princeton.edu) is a postdoctoral fellow at Princeton University in the lab of Bonnie Bassler. His work focuses on how bacterial viruses exploit a chemical communication process called quorum sensing to optimize their infectious lifecycle. Michael earned both his B.Sc. and Ph.D. from the University of Toronto. Michael is also working on commercializing new DNA assembly and cloning technology he developed during his postdoc. VectorWeave is commercializing a proprietary DNA assembly and cloning technology that removes this bottleneck. The technology supports the assembly of large, complex plasmids, as well as efficient multi-site plasmid mutagenesis. VectorWeave is exploring both a plasmid assembly service business and partnership opportunities with DNA synthesis providers to expand the size, complexity, and reliability of their product offerings.
