Alan is always great to listen to. Thanks, Luke.

One thing I wonder about is the sustainability of a model where a sale is the goal. Founders do well financially but often others do not. In many cases, the employees are let go, meaning they have to look for a new job.

Would many people put in the added years of graduate school and postdocs in order to work at a biotech startup for a couple of years and then have to start over? Can we maintain the pipeline of innovative researchers needed in biotech when their only alternatives are to be scientific gypsies or to start their own startups?

Wish I knew the answer.

Great interview Luke and another great article. I’m loving Alan’s enthusiasm for personalized medicine in the coming 5-10 years.
