Welcome!

I’m Andrew Kocab, and I've always been driven by the question, How do things work? This passion led me to earn a PhD in Immunology and a decade-long journey building a ophthalmology drug development biotech startup from its early academic spinout stage to a Phase 2 clinical phase company.

As a scientist and a startup veteran, I specialize in translating complex scientific concepts into business value. My track record includes driving innovation, providing strategic R&D leadership, and securing over $131 million in funding.

Here, you'll find my insights on science, startups, and the strategic decisions that shape our industry. I also share my creative outlet, photography, as it allows me to hone my creativity and see what others miss. I believe that this creative process, seeing new connections and finding new value, is essential to both art and innovation
