PhD to CEO

Thinking about turning your PhD research into a company? Join us for a candid conversation with Duke alumnus Tom Kaminski, founder and former CEO of Clinetic, recently acquired by MRO.

Tom will reflect on the full founder journey - from early uncertainty to acquisition - and share what he wishes he had known before starting.

We will explore:
The decisions that mattered most early on
Mistakes he would avoid if starting again
Skills and experiences that proved unexpectedly valuable

Open to current Duke PhD students and Postdocs.
