Is our Life Sciences industry the most under-reported unicorn in California’s industrial dominance? Can Life Sciences innovation survive the USA government’s assault on science? In this eye-opening episode, Rob sits down with friend Dave Whelan, to uncover how LA is rapidly transforming into a major player in biotech and health innovation. They discuss groundbreaking projects like UCLA’s new Research Park, the explosion of AI in drug discovery, and how diversity and storytelling are shaping the future of healthcare and life sciences startups. From political roadblocks to billion-dollar opportunities, this conversation is packed with insights for anyone curious about where health tech is heading—and why LA might just be leading the charge.
