My guest for this week’s episode is Quin Wills, CSO and Co-Founder of Ochre Bio, a pioneering biotechnology company developing RNA therapies for chronic liver diseases. Using a combination of genomic deep phenotyping, precision RNA medicine, and testing in live human donor livers, Ochre is developing therapies for liver health challenges ranging from increasing donor liver supply to reducing cirrhosis complications.
In addition to his work at Ochre, Quin is also a highly accomplished academic with a medical degree from Witwatersrand University and doctoral degrees from Cambridge and Oxford in computational biology, mathematics, and statistical genomics.
Along with his academic accomplishments, Quin also co-founded SimuGen and has worked at the University College London, the Mayo Clinic, and Novo Nordisk before he went on to co-found Ochre Bio. Quin's diverse experiences offer a wealth of insights that everyone can draw inspiration from.
Join us this week and hear about Quin’s:
- Unique journey through Y Combinator and its impact
- Thoughts about empathy’s role in organizational and team dynamics
- Strategies for adapting as an entrepreneur in a shifting biotech landscape
- Experience expanding Ochre Bio globally and the challenges of scaling
- Fundraising journey and his unconventional tips for aspiring entrepreneurs
Please enjoy my conversation with Quin Wills.
