Entrepreneur In Residence
CurrentAs the first Entrepreneur in Residence at the Pennsylvania Biotechnology Center (PABC) I am excited and committed to providing mentorship, leadership, and strategic advice to burgeoning life science companies. I am currently advising five spinout companies from the Baruch S. Blumberg Institute—Cirna, Merlin, Harligene, Pentravalent, and Rimmsting. Additionally, I am offering guidance to 10 companies that received grants from the PABC’s Academic Innovation Zone (AIZ) program, which manages a substantial budget from Pennsylvania's federal Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Funds to support early-stage life science companies and academic technologies.The Entrepreneur in Residence role involves offering critical insights on strategy, fundraising, product development, and identifying new investment opportunities for both the companies as well as the Pennsylvania Biotechnology Center.
