Medicine made personal
Australia-born Arjun Goyal (MBA 2014) credits HBS with helping him focus his career on life sciences, specifically “personalized medicine”—a tailored approach to treatment based on analysis of patient populations. With his classmate Louis Levy (MBA 2014), whom he met through the HBS Entrepreneurship Club, Goyal has created the start-up Foresight Pharmaceuticals.
Goyal and Levy secured a residency at the Harvard Innovation Lab and have pitched Foresight to HBS Business Angels, an alumni investment group. Through HBS, Goyal says he and Levy have been able to meet venture capitalists in Boston, noting that, ordinarily, “The networking opportunities are generally quite limited, certainly for students to meet with industry leaders.”
In HBS’s “anything-can-happen kind of environment,” Goyal recalls he also got to meet Kevin W. Sharer, senior lecturer of business administration at the School, and former CEO and president of Amgen, who established one of Goyal’s two fellowships. Being the recipient of support that enables him to attend HBS, says Goyal, inspires him to succeed: “It reinforces my confidence to follow my own path, knowing that there are others who have confidence in me and believe in me.”
