SUMMARY:Building Teams That Advance Breakthrough Science
DESCRIPTION:Breakthrough science is only the beginning. This panel will explore how strong founding teams help translate promising life sciences research into venture-backable companies—and why the people behind an innovation are critical to attracting early-stage investment. Hear practical perspectives from experienced founders and investors on what makes a team investable\, how researchers can build complementary commercial capabilities\, and the role of co-founders\, advisors\, and industry partners in advancing a venture. This session is designed for researchers\, faculty members\, postdoctoral fellows\, graduate students\, life sciences founders\, investors\, and commercialization professionals interested in building and supporting successful research-driven ventures. UCeed is one of Canada’s most active pre-seed investors in health and life sciences\, supporting researchers and founders at the earliest stages of venture creation. Panelists: Dr. Jehangir Appoo\, MD (Founding Partner\, AioT Health VC Fund) Dr. Pere Santamaria\, MD\, Ph.D (CSO & Founder of Parvus Therapeutics Inc.) Jord Cowan (VP Operations\, Parvus Therapeutics Inc.) Dr. John H. Wong\, MD (Co-founder & CEO of Fluid Biomed Inc.\, Associate Professor of Neurosurgery at UCalgary) Moderated By: Pete Santosham (Executive Director\, UCeed)
