Earlier this month, we sat down with serial founder, Pillar VC Founding Pillar and Petri Co-Founder Stan Lapidus to hear about his journey to becoming one of the top bio inventors of our time.
Stan founded Cytyc in 1987, revolutionizing the modern pap smear. In 2007, the company was acquired by Hologic for $6.2 billion and in 2012, prototypes of Cytyc’s pap smear were featured in the Smithsonian Museum. Stan went on to found several other revolutionary bio and healthcare companies, including EXACT Sciences and Helicos BioSciences.
