About Celia Jenkinson
I am a pharmacologist and scientific leader uniting research from the laboratory with clinic development to deliver innovative therapies. My career has been defined by a deep commitment to translating scientific insight into real-world impact by bridging discovery, development, and patient care.With a foundation in translational pharmacology and cross-functional leadership experience, I thrive at the intersection of science and strategy. My strength lies not only in understanding complex biology but in building and inspiring teams to develop therapies.At Travere Therapeutics, I have led rare disease programs from early discovery through late-stage development, including a trial that led to approval for a therapy for an ultra-rare disease. Central to my approach is ensuring that patients are not just the recipients of our work but the driving force behind it, shaping strategy from bench to bedside.My vision for the future of rare disease is to help develop disease-modifying, patient-tailored therapies that empower physicians to move beyond current standard-of-care and bring meaningful hope to those waiting.Specialities; Clinical and nonclinical project leadership, rare kidney and metabolic disease, translatable biomarkers, nonclinical pharmacology, type 2 diabetes, GPCR-related therapies
