After earning her PhD from the Program in Biological and Biomedical Sciences (BBS) here at Harvard, Dr. Melina Fan decided to start a company. That turned out to be a pretty good idea. Addgene is now the most trusted clearinghouse for plasmids; it sends out over 50 thousand every year. Dr. Fan, a new mother, formally stepped down from her position as Executive Director at Addgene. She continues her association with the company as the Director of Scientific Outreach, reflecting a growing interest in science education. As if that weren't enough, Dr.Fan also cofounded another startup, LabLife (recently acquired by BioData). This event is a great opportunity for students to meet Dr.Fan personally and learn from her rich experience in starting a life science start-up!
