Can't Tame a Mongoose: Memoir of a Genomics Entrepreneur

Stan Rose's approach to life and business is a story of persistence and resilience and a nearly unstoppable drive to achieve his goals. An MIT biologist turned entrepreneur, Dr. Rose has created and led multiple businesses in the emerging fields of DNA analysis and genomics. After several successful ventures, he was suddenly diagnosed with a life-threatening genetic disease. Some of the same technologies he had helped bring to the clinic became critical to his own survival. Following a kidney transplant, he continued to contribute to science and medicine, cofounding a new company commercializing products that might extend the lives of organ-transplant recipients.

In Can't Tame a Mongoose, Stan Rose shares stories from his own life illustrating the inevitable, unexpected events that may impact a business or life and strategies to increase the likelihood of overcoming unanticipated challenges or seizing emergent opportunities
