Bill Malkes with NellOne Therapeutics

Startup Knox Episode 20

I’m talking with serial entrepreneur Bill Malkes, founder of NellOne Therapeutics, an early stage biopharmaceutical company advancing the development of novel regenerative medicine therapies based on the functional activities of the NELL1 protein. We talk about the amazing role in healing played by NELL1, the successful sale of GRIDSMART, the imperative of failing fast, and why now is a great time for entrepreneurship in East Tennessee. Bill is reading It Can’t Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis, listening to Revisionist History, A Second Opinion, and Solvable, and following Paul Krugman, Andrea Mitchell, Dr. Emily Porter, and Susan Rice.
