Utah’s life science ecosystem has changed dramatically over the past decade. But that growth didn’t happen by accident.

In this episode of HiveCast, Faith Chamas sits down with Kapil Sharma, founder of Vira Regen and Interim Executive Director of Altitude Lab.

Kapil shares how Utah built an environment where entrepreneurs can turn scientific ideas into companies, why student founders are becoming an increasingly important part of that ecosystem and how Altitude Lab was created to give startups the resources they need to succeed.

He also discusses Vira Regen’s technology, which uses electrical stimulation for gene modulation to regenerate bone fractures—a platform originally developed to help address one of the Department of Defense’s biggest medical challenges.
