My guest for this weekâs episode is Bryan Dechairo, President, CEO, and Director at Sherlock Biosciences, an innovative biotech company that is enabling the democratization and decentralization of diagnostic testing to personalize healthcare and make an impact on global health. The Sherlock team and founders include engineering biology pioneers with world-leading expertise in CRISPR and synthetic biology, diagnostic industry veterans, and disease area authorities. Together, they provide an unparalleled set of capabilities that are transforming molecular diagnostics in clinical and non-clinical settings. Before Sherlock, and most recently, Bryan was Executive VP at Myriad Genetics and CSO and CMO at Assurex Health. His extensive career spans over two decades and also includes prominent positions at Medco Health, Pfizer, Oxagen, Sequana Therapeutics, and Roche. Bryan's vast experience working at both startups and Fortune 500 companies gives him unique insights that any entrepreneur can benefit from.
Join us as we sit down with Bryan as he discusses his early years growing up on a 10-acre hobby farm in Valley Center, Southern California, his decision to study integrative biology at UC Berkeley, and his early exposure to clinical diagnostics at Roche. Bryan talks about his transition to a startup, Sequana Therapeutics, and his love for that familial environment all while pursuing his PhD. Lastly, Bryan recounts embracing a new cultural experience in the UK while studying at the University College London. Please enjoy my conversation with Bryan Dechairo.
