The Science of Biotech with Dr. Parag Mallick
What do magic and cutting-edge biotechnology research and development have in common? This month, Drew & Liv had the pleasure of hearing from one scientist-entrepreneur who is doing both! Dr. Parag Mallick sits down to describe exactly how his company, Nautilus Biotechnology, is building the next generation of diagnostic and prognostic tools that he hopes to bring to labs across the world. In this episode, you will learn about how the crossroads of computer science and biology led Parag to found Nautilus, why the company's technology may remind you of the game "Guess Who?", and how a chip will unlock information about human proteins and physiology that we never thought possible.
