In episode 3 of Lift Up Journeys we were joined by Lisa Stehno-Bittel, the President and Founder of Likarda, a biotech company that’s developing enabling technologies to transform the way cell therapies are delivered and optimised. 

Lisa shared her story of founding a start-up straight from academia, as well as her experiences that led her to be named as one of the Top 50 Women Leaders in Missouri by Women We Admire. 

This conversation includes highlights like: 

“That's when the university said to me, ‘This doesn't look like academic research anymore. This looks more like a business.’”

“Having a young workforce, I think, keeps me engaged and moving forward.”

“My mentors and supervisors were all women, and I hadn't thought about how important that was until later in life.”
