- “Truly inspiring for our team.” — Ben Hindson, chief scientific officer, 10X Genomics
- “Luke Timmerman speaks about his momentous Everest climb with honesty, humor and humility. It inspires not only because it seems like a nearly impossible physical feat, but also because his motivation to do so was not his own ego or some social media notoriety but a desire to raise funds and awareness for patients battling cancer.” — Jonathan Silverstein, managing partner, OrbiMed Advisors
- “Luke Timmerman’s recount of his Mount Everest summit left our hCBio Team awe-inspired. His journey epitomized determination, grit, humility, and the power of preparation and teamwork, serving as a beacon of motivation for all of us.” — Leslie Williams, CEO, hC Bioscience
