Yes, I am friends with Dr. Mark Nelson at University of Arizona and he is doing a startup in that area. http://pathology.arizona.edu/faculty/mark-nelson-phd

No offense, and it bothers me in almost any use, but the phrase "doing a startup" seems especially out of its depth in this context.

Why not just say "starting a business?" I've never seen what is so magically special about "startups" that they deserve to be regarded as inhabiting a separate, higher plane of their own, beyond and above ordinary entrepreneurship as the species has heretofore known it.
