About Frank Cronin
For over 25 years, I have been at the intersection of science and execution - advancing drug programs from discovery through clinical development across some of Boston\'s most innovative biotech and pharmaceutical companies.My career spans the full drug development lifecycle: from lab bench work at Brigham and Women\'s Hospital to leading program management organizations at Vertex Pharmaceuticals (11+ years), Editas Medicine, Flare Therapeutics, and now LifeMine Therapeutics. I specialize in the development of small & large molecules from early discovery to commercial.At Vertex, I progressed from Associate Director to Senior Director, building and leading teams across Research, CMC and nonclinical development. At Editas Medicine, I led 2 Cell & Gene Therapy program managementprograms during a pivotal period for CRISPR-based therapeutics.What drives me: I believe great program management is the invisible infrastructure that turns breakthrough science into medicines that reach patients. It requires equal parts scientific literacy, strategic thinking, and the ability to align cross-functional teams toward shared milestones.I am always interested in conversations about biotech program management, CMC strategy, translational medicine, and what it takes to build effective R&D operations.
