DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Kunal Ghosh\nAbstract: AbstractUniversities are often 
 a hotbed for new innovation given the nexus of young talent\, sophisticate
 d infrastructure\, and a culture of intellectual freedom. Many breakthroug
 h innovations with the potential to make profound impact on society and im
 prove the state of the world would however be stuck at the university benc
 h if it were not for technology transfer mechanisms to facilitate commerci
 alization. Stanford University in California has historically been highly 
 successful in nurturing category-defining innovations and enabling their t
 ransfer into society through spin-outs\, spawning legendary tech companies
  such as Silicon Graphics\, Yahoo\, Google\, Instagram\, and a plethora of
  biotech companies. In this talk\, I will present an overview of how unive
 rsity-based innovation can be translated into society through entrepreneur
 ship\, including "The Three Rules" that all budding university-based entre
 preneurs should follow. I will present this overview and advice through th
 e lens of my own journey and the story of Inscopix\, a Stanford spin-out c
 ommercializing breakthrough Neurotechnology to map the brain.   CVKunal 
 Ghosh is founder and CEO of Inscopix\, Inc.\, a Palo Alto-based startup de
 veloping a platform for mapping brain circuits. Kunal founded Inscopix out
  of a research project at Stanford University that resulted in the inventi
 on of a miniature\, integrated microscope for in vivo brain imaging. The i
 nvention is the centerpiece of Inscopix's core brain circuit mapping produ
 cts which today have already advanced fundamental knowledge of the brain c
 ircuits underpinning brain function and behavior. Inscopix's platform also
  has the potential of shaping the future of neuro-therapeutic discovery\, 
 enabling the development of entirely new in vivo circuit-based assays for 
 diseases such as Parkinson's\, epilepsy\, and depression. Kunal is a passi
 onate advocate of the role of business as a force for good in society\, an
 d especially the role of entrepreneurial ventures in catalyzing a technolo
 gy-fueled revolution in brain science and mental health. He is a frequent 
 speaker on these themes at scientific meetings\, industry conferences\, an
 d top Business schools\, and serves on the World Economic Forum's Council 
 on Neurotechnologies and Brain Science. Kunal holds a BSE in Electrical En
 gineering from the University of Pennsylvania\, a BS from the Wharton Scho
 ol at the University of Pennsylvania\, and an MS and PhD in Electrical Eng
 ineering from Stanford University. Join using Zoom in your browser. (http
