What an eventful few days last week at #JPM2025! Grateful for the valuable connections, partnership opportunities, and learnings this year. A special thanks to our dedicated team members who played crucial roles at JPM: Austin Wang, PhD, Jeremy O'Connell, Bek Madjidov, and Jeanne Jew for their support in various Juvena partnership and relationship-building initiatives.
I appreciate everyone who attended the #BiotechShowcase panel I participated in, and the #WuXiGlobalForum roundtable Juvena hosted. It was a pleasure sharing insights on "Enhancing Longevity: Delaying the Diseases That Age Us" and discussing Juvena’s progress, including our upcoming clinical trials for muscle regenerating fusion protein JUV-161. Special thanks to the moderator, key opinion leader Professor Gordon Lithgow, and fellow panelists Frederick Beddingfield MD, PhD, Michael Curtis, and Markus Gstöttner.
A heartfelt thank you to all participants of our executive roundtable on weight loss for longevity at the #WuXiGlobalForum. Engaging with such a forward-thinking community was truly enriching. For those unable to join us onsite, you can catch up on the forum experience through the recap video here: https://lnkd.in/gdZq_n_f, or the digital content platform here: https://lnkd.in/ggbfgPJP, and Juvena’s unique clip here: https://lnkd.in/gq72tkia.
Connecting with peers at the #BiotechCEOSisterhood, alongside investor and BD allies #Breaking7% and PINK Tuesday events, was a highlight. Gratitude to the hosts, including Biocom California, Silicon Foundry, AmpersandPeople, and Dentons, and leaders of these empowering initiatives, including Julia Owens and Elizabeth Jeffords featured in my photos.
The #UCB MCB Alumni event provided a wonderful opportunity to connect with successful fellow PhD graduates like Nicole Fay and Robyn Beckwith.
Reconnecting with seed lead investment firm Felicis, and meeting their terrific biotech investor Tobi Coker at their biotech founder dinner was memorable. A big shoutout to our Series A lead investor, Mubadala Capital, and our fantastic supporters Ayman AlAbdallah, Cristina Ghenoiu, Ph.D., and Tobias Schmid for hosting their yearly outstanding networking event, always a blast! Special thanks to our amazing attorneys at Fenwick & West and Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati for their generous and memorable events. 🎉 This is just to name a few!
Excited to nurture these connections as we advance Juvena Therapeutics' pipeline to rejuvenate lives through tissue restorative biologics for myopathies and metabolic diseases.
