It was a terrific week in New York City last week, including a panel discussion at #JLABS #NYC highlighting some of the recent major milestones of two #BLUEKNIGHT companies. Both mPOD, Inc. and CastleVax have been successfully navigating the NYC ecosystem since launching at a New York City Health Hackathon (mPOD) and spinning out of Mount Sinai Health System (CastleVax). In the last few months, both companies have reached critical inflection points from initiating and enrolling clinical studies, to regulatory milestones, and receiving non-dilutive funding awards.
Thank you, Jeffrey Ly and Jori Horberg, for sharing your lessons learned and Ashim Subedee for highlighting opportunities for engaging with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), including through Blue Knight, the joint initiative with JLABS.
Tingting Zhang-Kharas, PhD, and the entire JLABS @ NYC team, thank you for your support of the early-stage companies in the region and for hosting this engaging discussion!
