Is it possible to move from postdoc to CEO? Dean did!
Impact and startups are not limited to professor-level researchers, so we're here to get insights and inspiration from CEO of Seer Medical, Dr Dean Freestone.
What advice does Dean have for other researchers who want to make impact in this way?
Register now and join this great conversation
Just six years after his PhD, Dean co-founded Seer Medical with Professor Mark Cook and George Kenley, a digital health company enabling epilepsy diagnostics in the comfort of home.
An engineer by training, Dean's work now lies at the intersection of machine learning, medical devices, neural modelling, and electronic engineering.
Dr Markey is a Brisbane-trained physician-scientist who is currently junior faculty on the BMT service at Memorial Sloan Kettering, New York. Her research program is focused on the intersection between transplant immunology and the microbiome. Her talk will review recent findings from the group at MSKCC, discuss recent cGVHD/microbiota findings in more detail, and share some preliminary pre-clinical data regarding the role of microbe-derived short chain fatty acids in alloreactivity.
