Throughout our conversation, Bharat stressed the importance of curiosity and doing research for a larger goal in mind. Specifically, not just focusing on the publication but also on commercialization value for certain types of research. We spoke at length about how complex biology requires technological solutions and how those technological inferences require biological validation. He also detailed what it’s like to work through the ranks at a venture capital firm, what he spends more of his time working on, common traits he sees in successful young founders, and emerging areas where the next generation of founders can thrive.----more----Producer: Jay.
