Our Co-founder and CEO Sekar (Sek) Kathiresan, M.D., looks forward to participating in BMO’s 2024 Genetic Medicines Summit next week. He will take part in a panel about #geneediting commercialization and ultimate takeaways from the industry’s first FDA-approved CRISPR/Cas9 gene-edited therapy, CASGEVY™. A live webcast will be available following the presentation and will be archived for 60 days here: https://lnkd.in/eFDgAqCA

Taiji Mizoguchi, Principal Scientist, Preclinical Pharmacology will represent Verve in Japan at the 56th Annual Scientific Meeting of Japan Atherosclerosis Society. With the theme “Deciphering Atherosclerosis from Coded Information”, Taiji will discuss the role that #genetherapy plays in creating treatments for patients living with #cardiovascular diseases.

Join us in welcoming Nia Tatsis, Ph.D., executive vice president and chief regulatory and quality officer at Vertex Pharmaceuticals and Jodie Morrison, chief executive officer of Q32 Bio to our board of directors! Both of these industry leaders have had decades of experience advising #pharmaceutical and #biotech companies through critical stages in drug development, manufacturing, and commercialization. We’re thrilled to have Nia and Jodie as part of our team as we focus on pipeline execution with the continued advancement of the Heart-2 clinical trial of VERVE-102, the clinical trial initiation of VERVE-201, and continued progress on our earlier stage LPA program.

Pride is in the air! We displayed every color of the rainbow at our Pride-themed tie dye event earlier this month in celebration of the diversity within the LGBTQ+ community. In addition, thanks to Dr. Wiley Davi for joining us to share the power of pause and importance of assessing your own assumptions and biases related to someone’s identity/intentions/actions. Here's to embracing our differences and a future of inclusivity. #PrideMonth

A bittersweet moment as our spring co-ops share their learnings from their time with us in a final poster session. In just a short time, these students partnered with members of our team to learn about our science in the #cardiovascular space and captured the essence of a scientist's day-to-day. To our co-ops, best of luck on your future endeavors in science!

We ❤️ STEM education! Science from Scientists and STEMatch are organizations with the goal of teaching and inspiring the next generation to identify and solve real-world problems by improving #STEM literacy, and we're thrilled to take part in their missions. We recently had the chance to connect with children and young adults within our community through a variety of fun and educational activities: ⭐ STEM Day at Fenway - Verve volunteers celebrated a successful day at Fenway expressing the joys of science through a science theater event, showcasing exciting experiments including exploding coke bottles, a bed of nails, and more.  ⭐ Spring 2024 Classroom Visits - Vervians headed back to school and participated in lessons about oil spills and owl pellet dissections.  ⭐ Student Visitation at Verve - Students stepped into our world to understand a day in our shoes. We enjoyed sharing the ins and outs of #biotech and what goes on within our laboratories.

We're growing! Our team is seeking an experienced senior #clinicalscientist to join our team as we continue to advance #geneediting medicines for #cardiovascular disease into clinical development. This candidate will be an integral part of the clinical development team supporting the execution of early-phase clinical studies.

Verve takes on paint night, and to our surprise, we have some talented artists on our team! During the event, participating painters enjoyed drinks and snacks as they learned how to paint their choice between two local Boston landscapes. Congrats to Vian Peshdary, Ph.D. for winning the vote for favorite painting, and special thanks to Jamie DeNizio, PhD for organizing this fun event.
