Episode notes

i met Aria in my first year of intern so this was after i had finished medical school and i was just starting to train as a doctor. And it was, ah, for me at that time, somewhere between 80 and a hundred hours a week in the hospital. I decided to take some time off from the state dear and and inubiate yale because it was this mission driven school. It wasn't just about going on working in an investment bank, but maybe having a big impact on the world,. which is what drove me into the foreign service to begin with.

When Aryé Elfenbein and Justin Kolbeck met in 2011, they had no intention of starting a business. Aryé was a cardiologist, and Justin was a diplomat who had lived in countries all over the world. But their chance meeting at a dinner party led to a deep friendship focused on working together to change the world. Through regular Saturday morning brainstorming sessions, they settled on pursuing a scientific approach to growing meat for human consumption.

This week on How I Built This Lab, Aryé and Justin discuss the problems with modern seafood production and how their company, Wildtype, hopes to revolutionize the industry by using stem cells to cultivate real, sushi-grade salmon...without harming any actual fish.
