In this special two-guest episode of Joining the Dots, we explore the theme of taking research from idea to proof of concept and beyond. We're joined by Dr Jason Mellad, Co-Founder and CEO of life sciences venture capital fund Start Codon, and Dr Jeroen Verheyen, a venture builder and Co-Founder and CEO of Semarion, a biotech start-up that leverages microfabrication technology to build smart materials and develop novel cell assaying applications.

In Part 1 we discuss their career journeys, future innovations in healthcare and the research to proof-of-concept process.
