SUMMARY:Is Targeted Protein Degradation the “Break” Neurology Needs? - Hosted by GEN
DESCRIPTION:Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s remain some of the most challenging conditions to treat. Despite decades of research\, small molecule inhibitors have shown limited clinical benefit for treating misfolded proteins\, while amyloid-beta-focused approaches have been shown to address only one of many underlying disease drivers. Repeated late-stage failures have underscored the biological complexity of these disorders. \nTargeted protein degradation is emerging as a promising modality for eliminating disease-driving proteins. By selectively reducing pathogenic protein levels\, degraders may offer a way to address neurodegenerative and neuromuscular diseases by targeting proteins that lack conventional druggable sites. \nIn this GEN webinar\, our expert speaker will discuss the increasing rationale for targeting key drivers of neurological disease with protein degraders and how this approach may enable deeper\, more precise modulation of disease biology. Key takeaways from the webinar will include: \n\nTargeted protein degradation could help address the underlying biology of neurodegenerative and neuromuscular diseases.\nProtein degraders are designed to selectively eliminate disease-driving proteins that have historically been difficult or impossible to target\, potentially expanding the range of tractable targets in neurology.\nIn preclinical experiments\, certain protein degraders have shown the ability to reach the target in the brain or muscle\, reduce the disease-associated protein\, and affect downstream biological pathways.\n\nSpeaker: \nAngela M. Cacace\, PhD \nDr. Angela Cacace serves as Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) at Arvinas. Prior to her role as CSO\, Dr. Cacace most recently served as Senior Vice President\, Neuroscience and Platform Biology. Dr. Cacace has three decades of drug discovery experience in neuroscience and oncology research across modalities. During her time at Arvinas\, Dr. Cacace has led the continuous evolution of our PROTAC Discovery Engine to employ new E3 ligases and cross the blood-brain barrier for multiple neurologic disease targets. \nPreviously\, Dr. Cacace served as the Vice President of Biology at Fulcrum Therapeutics\, where she built the biology platform\, grew talented scientific teams\, delivered the first development candidates\, and guided the development of translational biomarkers to enable clinical development programs. \nAdditionally\, Dr. Cacace served in positions of increasing responsibility at Bristol Myers Squibb\, including as the Director of Neuroscience and Genetically Defined Diseases\, where she spearheaded alternative therapeutic modalities and was a co-inventor on several development candidates. Throughout her time at Bristol Myers Squibb\, she was responsible for building research-wide teams and initiatives\, including the Lead Discovery and Optimization functions. While serving as a Sr. Principal Scientist in Cancer Biology at Pfizer\, together with her team\, she discovered a novel anti-angiogenic antibody development candidate. Dr. Cacace currently serves on the Board of Directors for BioCT.

SUMMARY:Beyond the Pitch Webinar: What First-Time Founders Don't See Coming - Hosted by LaunchBio
DESCRIPTION:Almost no deal gets done in one meeting\, and the person you pitched is rarely the person who decides. A founder’s story has to survive being retold without you in the room\, adapt as you move from second meeting to partner presentation to diligence\, and keep working in the moments you least expect\, including the silence\, the soft no\, and the monthly update. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails\n\n\n\n\nJoin LaunchBio for part three of our Beyond the Pitch series featuring Joanna Ghayad\, PharmD\, PCC\, Executive Coach and Business Advisor for first-time founders\, for a practical look at what actually happens after your pitch lands with an investor. \nIn this session\, Joanna addresses the three things founders consistently miss when preparing for investor conversations: \n\nHow to make your story portable enough that your champion can sell it internally\nHow to shift the altitude of your narrative as the process advances instead of repeating the same pitch\nHow to keep the story alive between meetings in ways that build trust and turn a “not now” into a future lead.

SUMMARY:CT Founders Club: Founder & Funder Meetup

We will have open networking and breakfast 8:30-9am\, gather for some quick words and highlights 9-9:30am\, and continue building relationships 9:30-10:30am. Hope to see you there! \nThank you to Webster Bank and Wiggin & Dana for making CT Founders Club possible! \nWebster Bank is a $75B commercial bank offering a full suite of banking services to companies in all stages of their business life cycle. Founded nearly 90 years ago\, Webster remains headquartered in Connecticut with offices and clients across the country.

By staffing matters with attorneys whose expertise aligns directly with a company’s needs and growth trajectory\, Wiggin and Dana delivers responsive\, efficient\, and cost‑effective counsel that helps businesses move forward with confidence. \nBackground on CT Founders Club: \nWe heard from many CT-based founders that they don’t have a solid local group of likeminded people to share intros\, tips\, and the up & down journey of startup life with. Let’s change that! If you’re a founder all-in on building a high scale potential company\, CT Founders Club is for you. We gather every 6-8 weeks for breakfast\, happy hour\, or dinner and making CT a great place to start and grow a game-changing company. \nRules of CT Founders Club: \n1. Be Vulnerable: be yourself and ask for what you need. It’s brutally hard to start and grow a company. For those that have done it\, don’t glorify it\, be honest\, share your challenges and mistakes\, as well as the wins. \n2. Give first: rising tide lifts all boats\, let’s make CT a better place to build startups. Come to each event with your A game and the intention to help at least one person you meet in some way (sales pitch feedback\, customer / investor / talent intro\, brainstorm session\, etc.). \n3. Don’t be an asshole: treat others like you want to be treated. If you offer something follow through. \n4. No soliciting: any help offered is free and without the expectation of anything in return (see rule #3). \n5. Be inclusive: everyone started somewhere\, include and support everyone (except #3). \n6. Respect the time put into organizing: if you rsvp\, come on time. If something comes up\, communicate. \n7. What happens at CT Founders Club stays there: respect people’s vulnerability and transparency and treat what’s shared as confidential. \nThis event wouldn’t be possible without some great collaborators! \nConnecticut Innovations is Connecticut’s venture capital arm and the leading source of financing and ongoing support for innovative\, growing companies. \nThe Angel Investor Forum (AIF) is a private network in Fairfield\, CT\, that hosts monthly pitch events where vetted startups present to potential investors. Joining AIF offers access to investment opportunities\, educational resources\, and a collaborative community of experienced professionals.
