A Deep Dive into Engineering Antigens w/ Shahrad Daraeikia

<p>In this episode, Jan and RJ interview Shahrad Daraeikia. Shahrad spends some time talking about his journey to becoming a scientist at the forefront of innovation in the biotech industry. This journey involved changing majors from Pre-Med to Pre-Pharmacy followed by the decision to go to graduate school for something completely different, on the other side of the country.<br /> -<br /> Instead, Shahrad opted to attend graduate school at the University of San Francisco in pursuit of a Masters in Science in Biotechnology. Shahrad then encountered Jake Glanville (CEO of Distributed Bio), became an intern at the company, and has since grown into a position that required him to directly impact the revolutionary techniques being utilized to discover and engineer powerful antibodies in the fight against a global pandemic. </p> <p>-<br /> Check out Distributed Bio Here: <a href= "https://www.distributedbio.com/">https://www.distributedbio.com/</a></p> <p>Look at the NEWEST initiative (Including COVID-19 Research) HERE: <br /> <a href= "https://www.centivax.com">https://www.centivax.com</a> </p> <p>-</p> <p>If you want to support us, there are three ways to do so.
