About Leonardo Mirandola
With over 15 years of experience in the biotech industry, I serve as an independent Fractional Chief Scientific Officer and strategic advisor, collaborating with early-stage biotechnology companies to shape their scientific strategies and development plans. My focus lies in cell and gene therapy development, non-viral gene editing, and immuno-oncology platforms, where I contribute to defining product concepts, designing preclinical proof-of-concept experiments, and translating complex science into impactful investor narratives. Leveraging my extensive background in leading R&D programs, platform creation, and transitioning therapies from concept to first-in-human clinical studies, I support teams in identifying feasibility risks, designing development roadmaps, and outlining regulatory expectations. I am committed to empowering founders with the clarity and strategic direction needed to navigate the complexities of early-stage development, ensuring their innovative ideas are positioned for success within a competitive landscape.
