In this episode of Case Studies, Casey sits down with David Bearss – a trailblazing scientist, cancer researcher, and biotech founder, for a compelling conversation about faith, innovation, and the extraordinary journey from a biology lab to life saving breakthroughs.
David shares how an early gene discovery altered the course of his life, launching him from a white coat in academia to the unpredictable world of entrepreneurship. With humility and clarity, he reveals what it’s like to develop treatments that not only extend lives but have saved the lives of people he loves.
They explore how Halia, his latest venture, is revolutionizing Alzheimer’s research by studying those genetically at risk who never get the disease, and how AI is accelerating discoveries that once took decades. David also opens up about the mentors who believed in him, the moral weight of investor trust, and why scarcity breeds the best innovation.
This conversation is an inspiring masterclass in conviction, purpose, and the science of resilience; for anyone committed to solving hard problems and building something that truly matters.
