Science Shaping Our World-SHOW: Entrepreneur Series: Drug Delivery, Telemedicine, and BioInnovation Resources in Greater Boston

Science Shaping Our World-SHOW is an ongoing seminar and networking series that highlights cutting edge, translational, life science research and development. This season of SHOW is focused on the scientist-entrepreneur where we will be highlighting companies and innovations created by researchers and clinicians addressing a broad spectrum of healthcare need.

Speakers for September’s SHOW event include:
1. Ailis Tweed-Kent, MD, CEO at Cocoon Biotech Inc. – As a clinician Dr. Tweed-Kent was inspired by her patients to found Cocoon to develop innovative silk therapeutics for osteoarthritis. Cocoon Biotech is developing a drug-delivery platform based on formulations of fibroin, a protein derived from the cocoon of the silk worm (Bombyx mori) which is a biocompatible protein that has been used for decades as a suture material; however, recent advances in our understanding of fibroin biochemistry has allowed expansion of the versatility of the material into alternate physical formats such as spheres and hydrogels loaded with active drug substances.

Carl Schoellhammer, PhD, CEO - Suono Bio – Dr. Schoellhammer, working in the laboratory of Dr. Robert Langer focused on the development of novel devices and treatment modalities to enable the transdermal and oral delivery of biologics; his inventions aim to ease discomfort for millions of patients. In the summer of 2017 he launched Suono Bio a drug delivery platform technology company working towards enabling ultra-rapid delivery of therapeutics, including proteins and nucleic acids, to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The ability to deliver a broad range of therapies shows great promise in enhancing outcomes in a variety of diseases.
