7 Mark Kaganovich
Kaganovich has been interested in technology start-ups since high school, and now that he’s finishing up his Ph.D. — at Stanford, in computational biology — he’s working on his own. “We want to change bioinformatics,” he said of his company, SolveBio. That means building computers to answer “biologically relevant questions” and to make medicine “more precise, more effective, and less expensive.”
When he was at Harvard, Kaganovich said few people were aware of start-ups as a career path. “I think all the attention Facebook got helped change that a little,” he said, “at least for now.”
