The Mentors Radio Show

In this episode of THE MENTORS RADIO, Host Tom Loarie talks with Jeff Karp, PhD, one of the most innovative minds in medical science. Jeff is a professor of biomedical engineering at Harvard Medical School and MIT, and he leads the Karp Lab, which has pioneered bio-inspired technologies that have led to the formation of 12 companies. His groundbreaking work includes a tissue glue that can seal holes in a beating heart and a ‘smart needle’ that stops automatically upon reaching its target. Dr. Jeff Karp has been honored as an Outstanding Faculty Mentor at MIT and as the top graduate student mentor at Harvard-MIT. Jeff is also a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors. In this episode of THE MENTORS RADIO, Dr. Karp will share insights from his discovery of Life Ignition Tools (LIT)—a toolkit that came from overcoming ADHD and put him on a path for doing great things with his life. Jeff will explain how this toolkit can help people break free perceived constraints and/or autopilot…and it will ignite you for great things as well.
