The biotech vertical covers therapeutics, drug discovery, and the broader life-sciences industry. We send a weekly biotech newsletter, run panel events with physician-founders and biotech executives, and use RA Capital course material as reference for biotech investing. Recent programming includes a Nucleate Translate panel on physician careers in biotech (with Jay Bradner of NIBR, Shehnaaz Suliman of ReCode Therapeutics, and Akshay Vaishnaw of Alnylam), a week-long Bio × ML hackathon co-hosted with Lux Capital and OpenBioML, and JPM Healthcare Conference debrief sessions.
