Listen "049 Grace Colon| science anchored trailblazing"
Episode Synopsis
GRACE’S BIO
Dr. Grace Colon is multicultural in many ways, but having New Orleans and San Juan lineage in equal parts makes for an interesting array of cuisine options growing up. She has 25+ years of experience in biopharma, genomics, diagnostics, synthetic biology, healthcare and industrial biotechnology.
Most recently, she served as CEO and President of InCarda Therapeutics, where she led the company from a seed stage start-up to one with a best-in-class inhaled cardiovascular disease therapy being evaluated in a pivotal Phase 3 trial and a growing pipeline. She currently serves on the boards of CareDx (NASDAQ:CDNA), the MIT Corporation (MIT’s Board of Trustees),Voyager Therapeutics (NASDAQ: VYGR), the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO), and served as Executive Chairman and previously CEO of ProterixBio. She was previously a partner at New Science Ventures, a New York based venture capital firm, and served on the boards of Paradigm Diagnostics, PerceptiMed and Cocoon Biotech and started her professional career after her postdoctoral work at MIT as a management consultant at McKinsey & Company.
She holds a PHD in Chemical Engineering from MIT and a BS in Chemical Engineering from University of Pennsylvania. Grace has three adult children, lives in Northern California and is a runner, yoga practitioner, SCUBA diver, paddle boarder, rabid consumer of science fiction, semi-competent singer and musical theater performer, and aspiring juggler.
