Biotech’s Iron Lady: The Story of Dr. Zanganeh

Zanganeh pursued dental studies at the University of Louis Pasteur in Strasbourg, France, graduating in 1995. Fluent in four languages—Persian, German, English, and French—she soon realized dentistry wasn’t her true calling. The profession, she once said, made her feel like she was "trapped in a box every day." A chance introduction to the robotic surgery firm Computer Motion in 1997 redirected her path.
