In this episode, Nimish Gera, Vice President of Biologics at Mythic Therapeutics, talks about the work Mythic Therapeutics does and the role LabOps play in it.
Nimish is the scientific co-founder of Mythic, where he oversees the discovery of “antibodies”; These molecules target chemotherapy to a certain area, killing intended cells and minimizing toxicities.
With a chemical engineering background, he started working at the lab himself and realized that LabOps personnel are the ones who do critical day-to-day tasks that allow the developments to happen. Finally, he talks about how as a leader he keeps an eye on the use of lab resources and ensures he’s including and motivating LabOps employees.
Tune in to this episode to listen to what Nimish Gera has learned working at Mythic Therapeutics about LabOps in cancer biologics development!
Lab Operations are the foundation for scientific work at Mythic Therapeutics.
