Vered Caplan
The Power List 2021 – Advanced Medicine
Chief Executive Officer at Orgenesis
Orgenesis recently announced several collaborations with international institutions, including Johns Hopkins University and the University of California, Davis, both of which joined the company’s POCare network. Caplan says, “We as an industry must invest in building the frameworks that will allow scientists to translate their advancements to industrial products. It’s not enough to make these therapies available, we must make them available for all that need them.”
She likens the industry to the early days of computers. “We are building more sophisticated hardware (cell and gene processing systems) that in turn drives more software development (the molecular biological pathways by which we manipulate cellular systems) that again requires more advanced hardware. We can only imagine what the future holds.”
