Old Friend, New Science: Matthew Shair PhD

What this episode covers

<p>One summer in the late 1970s, a young man named Matt Shair stood up to a bully in defending his friend Dave. Today, more than 40 years later, Dave dials up Matt to finally thank him. Oh by the way Matt is a scientist at Harvard University who studies the mechanistic basis of human diseases, identifies new druggable targets and develops therapeutics. So yeah, he's done pretty well for himself.</p><p>More on Matt's work at <a href="http://www.shairlab.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span data-auto-link="true" data-href="http://www.shairlab.com/">http://www.shairlab.com/</span></a></p><p>The company Matt founded, Nuvalent: <a href="https://www.nuvalent.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span data-auto-link="true" data-href="https://www.nuvalent.com/">https://www.nuvalent.com/</span></a></p><p>Thanks to our sponsor All Inclusive with Jay Ruderman, a podcast focused on inclusion and social justice.
