I wasn’t a big fan of biology in school.
But today, I help biotech startups explain biotech to investors using short, clear explainer videos.

Back then, the lessons felt like memorizing facts from a textbook. My teacher was boring. We never saw how biology connected to real life and how it shaped our health, medicine, or the world around us.

So, I lost interest.

Learning Biology to Better Explain Biotech to Investors

Fast forward to today: I run Life Science Animation, a studio that specializes in helping biotech companies explain their science to investors through video.

But here’s the twist: I didn’t start out with a scientific background.
To create these animations, I had to learn the science behind them.

That’s why I signed up for Harvard Medical School’s Fundamentals of Immunology course.
I needed to see biotech through the eyes of a non-scientist—just like many investors do.

Why Explainer Videos Help Investors Understand Biotech

It all clicked as I learned about T cells, antibodies, and immune responses. These weren’t abstract ideas. They were real components of our clients’ technologies.

And more importantly, they were hard to explain—especially to someone without a PhD.

That’s where a biotech explainer video helps.
It turns dense, technical science into something clear, visual, and compelling.

Who Needs Help Explaining Biotech?

Most biotech startups aren’t pitching to other scientists. They’re talking to:

  • Investors

  • Regulators

  • Partners

  • The public

These audiences often struggle to understand dense scientific decks or publications.
And if they don’t understand the science, they won’t invest.

We solve that problem with explainer videos.

Read how we did this for Morphocell and how it sparked new investor interest.

How We Make Biotech Science Clear

I work closely with a team of PhDs. They answer my “beginner” questions and help us dig deep into each technology.
This curiosity-driven process ensures we create videos that explain biotech to investors in the simplest, most engaging way possible.

Some of our best projects include:

Each one helped founders communicate clearly and spark meaningful conversations with investors.

Final Thought: You Don’t Need a PhD to Explain Biotech

I may not be a scientist. But I understand how to explain biotech to investors—by making science clear, visual, and exciting.

That’s what we do at Life Science Animation.
