“I’ve had plenty of people tell me that the ideas I have will not work. And my response is usually, ‘If you don’t see the future I see, I’m not going to sit here and argue with you all day. I’m just going to go back to the laboratory and prove it,’” said Garry Nolan.
Nolan is a Stanford professor in the Department of Pathology. He trained under Leonard Herzenberg for his doctorate and Nobel laureate David Baltimore for postdoctoral work. He has published over 350 research articles, holds 50 U.S. patents, and has been recognized as one of the top 25 inventors at Stanford University.
“The thing that angers me the most is when I see opportunity lost. Usually, what I tell students is, ‘If you know you’re right and you can see the steps to get there clearly, don’t let somebody else dissuade you. Don’t let them demoralize you. Just do it.’”
In addition to his research, Nolan has founded several biotechnology companies, two of which are currently trading on NASDAQ.
In today’s episode, we will talk with Nolan about the cutting-edge technologies he has invented and the secrets behind his success.
