Introduction

01:10Tell listeners a little bit about yourself.

05:47And then what made you transition, to Newfront?

08:06Tell me a little bit more about sort of, what do products look like and things like that from the New Front for life science companies?

10:13How do you normally get engaged then? Normally, the company that is recruiting patients or the actual company that's running the clinical trial? 

11:49To think about the different phases of clinical trials. Are you involved only whenever they get to human clinical trials, I'm assuming that's primarily where your involvement starts?

14:37So if you are not venture-backed, do you have anybody that involves that, then involves your company? And then if so, how do they get kind of tied in, with Newfront?

15:39What are some of the biggest challenges that you face at Newfront?

17:48And where do you see some of the biggest opportunities?

20:53There are some questions that I like to ask every guest.

-What Inspires you?

22:11-What concerns you?
