I will actually ask for feedback when I'm doing end of year performance reviews.
And I will encourage my team to always feel that if there is feedback, in fact, I think it's a way that you respect people is to offer constructive feedback.
feedback and if you're communicating in a way that's minimizing somebody, acting in a way that could be more powerful for the company, it's a wonderful strength.
So I definitely have people that will comment on being surprised by the aspect of humility in my job, which I personally think is a strength, but it's a difference.
I've been told, and I think I also aspire to this, that I don't ever want to ask something of my team that I'm not willing to do myself.
I have very high expectations of myself.
And I think we set really phenomenal goals that we want to accomplish.
And those are some of the aspects.
And I think it's important that we have fun.
So we're going to work hard, but hopefully we laugh along the way and laugh.
and get to know each other and enjoy life as we go through it.
We're a clinical stage biotech company that's focusing on immunotherapies, novel immunotherapies that are harnessing our immune system, our natural immune system to fight tough diseases.
Specifically, we have been focused on cancer across our life cycle.
If I were to expand on that, I would talk about how the immunotherapy, you know, what the approaches that we're using.
There are lots of different approaches to trying to harness the immune system.
We're using a DNA based plasmid that is using a synthetic carrier that basically takes the therapeutic and allows it to get into the cells of women that's in our most advanced
case with ovarian cancer and these cells are programmed to start releasing really important cytokines that would naturally occur in our body and basically releasing the ability for our body to fight cancer.
So we give it basically kind of a recipe, right, for the body to not only see the tumors, so the ovarian cancer, which is really different than many other kinds of cancers, is immunologically cold, so the immune system can't see it.
We are able to change the tumor microenvironment, the setting where the tumors are, which is in the peritoneal cavity to a hot tumor environment, which allows our product to then to flourish.
