Tufts Biotechnology Series: Ted Myles, a leading voice in biotech, shares his experiences with Tufts students

For most students, science is limited to the lab bench — pipetting solutions and taking precise measurements to check the validity of their hypothesis. Yet, beyond the world of the wet lab, quietly supporting scientific discovery, is the high-stress, high-reward business of biotechnology. Last week, Ted Myles, chief executive officer of Cellarity, came to speak at Tufts as part of the School of Engineering’s Biotechnology Industry Series. He spoke candidly about his journey, sharing several insights into the lessons that have shaped both him and his career.
