Mitch Jones—Chemomab Therapeutics| When Culture meets Talent in Life Sciences [Ep.23]

In episode 23 of ReBootHealth, I speak with Mith Jones. Mitch was referred to me by a previous guest of the show and as a Canadian in the US life sciences ecosystem, I was curious to get a bit more on his perspective. I’ll admit this show won’t be for everyone, but during our pre-show chat, I came to quickly appreciate the depth of knowledge and skill that Mitch brings to the therapeutics arena. I couldn’t help but think if we just had a “few more Mitch(es) north of the border” we would be able to make some real strides in closing the talent gap. Mitch was also one of the few guests that highlighted and corrected my show notes (thanks Mitch!!) …the first one to dig in and a sure sign of the ‘real deal’ if there ever was one. We touched on many topics including the influence of culture on venture creation, critical components of developing clinical programs, the long duration of life sciences innovation, and future technologies to watch. As always, I hope you find the episode valuable. Please write a review on Apple Podcast.
