DO NOT MISS the BEST lecture of 2022 Global Entrepreneurship Summer Camp (GESC) in Silicon Valley selected by KAIST student participants!

Sungwon Lim is a bioengineer & entrepreneur with 20 years of collective experience in academia and the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. In 2017, he founded ImpriMed with his 20-years friend Jamin Koo, who went to the same schools at KAIST and Stanford University. The team has a strong motivation to innovate a way to help cancer patients who need an effective treatment ‘today', by optimizing and personalizing drug treatment options that are currently available in our medical cabinet. ImpriMed has raised $12 million from prestigious venture capital firms and recently partnered with Mayo Clinic. Sungwon was selected as a 40 Under 40 in Cancer 2022.

After Dr. Lim’s talk, participants in the 2022 GESC said,

“Because I was aware of problems in the field of medicine from my previous internship experience, the solution provided by ImpriMed was so innovative to me. Through the solution presented by ImpriMed, you can create your own personalized prediction profile for each patient. Also, you can control and reduce live cancer cells and this leads to avoid wasting precious time and resources. This was a technological innovation achieved by combining the bio-field and artificial intelligence and seemed to be a company that actually "solves" the world's problems.” (Yumin Park, M.S. Chemistry, KAIST, 2022 GESC Annual Report)

“I really want to work together with Silicon Valley people who have a "pay-it-forward" mindset. After listening to Sungwon's story, I strongly want to be part of the cycle of “being guided by senior entrepreneurs and pay it forward to youth entrepreneurs” in Silicon Valley.” (Dooyoung Kim, Ph.D., Culture and Technology, KAIST, 2022 GESC Annual Report)

“The session by Sungwon Lim, the CEO of a biotechnology startup in Silicon Valley called Imprimed, has drastically changed how I view failure. … After that session, I was very encouraged to explore new things, take risks, and not be afraid of failures. The fact that Sungwon Lim was once also an undergraduate student at KAIST like me and had faced numerous failures before becoming the successful man he is right now has motivated me that I too, can achieve great things.” (Stella Yolanda, B.S. Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, KAIST, 2022 GESC Annual Report)
