With no formal education in biology, he was initially at sea.

Subramaniam goes beyond the narrative of nurturing aife sciences company to step back and derive messages and morals that are applicable to any technology-driven venture.This candid, conversational account of his encounters and excitements holds valuableessons for those who are either starting a new business or managing an existing one.
