WisBusiness: the Podcast with Goutham Narla, WARF Therapeutics

This week’s episode of “WisBusiness: the Podcast” is with Goutham Narla, chief scientific officer for WARF Therapeutics and founder of Rappta Therapeutics.

This program of the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation is focused on developing and ultimately commercializing new medicines based on UW-Madison research.

“That’s really meant to take a very exciting biological target, and to develop a drug, go through all the pre-clinical studies and then partner that with industry or venture in order to then clinically develop it,” Narla said.
