Durell Coleman wanted to be an inventor since he was a young child. His brother, five years his senior, died from Cancer after graduating from high school. Before he did, he challenged his younger brother to make cancer treatments better. That request was seared into Durell’s memory and changed the direction of his life.

Today, the two-time Stanford grad combines his passion for invention with the spirit of his brother’s challenge. He employs human-centered design skills to develop processes, system and Technology that improve people’s lives. Watch the full interview in the player at the top of this article.
