Steve Gullans

Connector, Entrepreneur, Inventor, Investor, Scientist

Scientist, entrepreneur, author, venture investor. Co-founder of Excel Venture Management which invests in transformational life science companies. Former professor at Harvard Medical School, where I surprised everyone when I abruptly departed after 18 years to pursue a career as an entrepreneur. This career change was considered risky and was motivated in large part by frustration that many meaningful laboratory breakthroughs don't find their way to the outside world. Co-authored Evolving Ourselves with Juan Enriquez, which describes the future of human evolution and the impact of new life technologies on this process. Co-founded biotech companies, published >100 scientific research papers, and trained >100 talented young scientists who have gone on to successful careers in academia, industry, and government.

I am passionate about translating scientific breakthroughs into benefits for mankind, training future scientists and entrepreneurs, tennis, golf, and my family.
