Intersect - An Idea Becomes Reality
10/16/20 • 26 min
What if cancer could communicate directly with a machine? This is the question that started it all for co-founder and CTO, Sam Mazin while he was a postdoc at Stanford. He understood how radiology systems worked, and then set out to learn about radiation oncology. As he began to think about the two processes, a new treatment modality was born — using x-rays to see disease, and treat cancer, simultaneously. Tune in to find out what happened next — including the biggest challenge: raising $10,000,000. It’s all part of the story of how RefleXion was born.
Speakers:
Sam Mazin, PhD - Founder and CTO, RefleXion
Todd Powell - President and CEO, RefleXion
