On Episode 20 of the Mantell Associates Network Podcast we welcomed Jeff Galvin, CEO and Founder of American Gene Technologies™ (AGT). Jeff earned his BA degree in Economics from Harvard in 1981 and has more than 30 years of business and entrepreneurial experience including founder or executive positions at a variety of Silicon Valley startups. Several of his companies were taken public and/or sold to public companies, including one in the medical-technology arena that was sold to Varian, the leading maker of linear accelerators used in cancer therapy. Following Jeff's startup experience, he retired to become an Angel Investor in real estate and high tech. He came out of retirement to found and fund AGT after meeting Roscoe Brady at NIH.

In this episode, Alessandro Mantell speaks with Jeff who shares his thoughts on leadership and the future of Cell & Gene Therapy, and discusses AGT's mission and goal to cure nearly any monogenic loss of function disorder, from idea to first human efficacy.
