Praesidia Biotherapeutics

Team Praesidia

We have come together with the overarching goal of improving the therapeutic outcome of drugs for patients

Leadership Team

Praesidia is a culmination of the two founders’ over 50 years of combined drug development experience and 25 years of entrepreneurial track record punctuated by 2 successful exits. The breadth of drug development experience  encompasses new target identification and new drug discovery, recombinant protein and monoclonal antibody design, as well as platform development. The R&D experience covers the complete drug development lifecycle: from high expression cell lines to process/ CMC development to scaling up to large scale GMP Manufacturing for clinical studies and market.

The Founders’ experience and expertise have been exponentially enriched by an expanding panel of eminent Advisors with prominent academic, industrial and clinical pedigrees.
