He currently teaches graduate courses in Biotechnology Product Development and Regulation at Columbia. However, his previous experience included regulatory affairs work with IRX Therapeutics, a biotechnology company developing immunotherapies for cancer and related diseases, and Veloxis Pharmaceuticals. With a focus on international and domestic regulation and product development, Dr. Guido offers a unique perspective on the intersection between bioethics and biotechnology.
