About Ross Corriden
Immunology and inflammation leader with 15+ years building discovery capabilities across biotech and pharma. I\'ve had the opportunity to establish research functions from the ground up, guide portfolio strategy decisions, and lead cross-functional teams through complex program challenges - from early discovery through IND preparation.My career has been shaped by a focus on GPCR biology and immune cell function, with particular expertise in translating academic insights into viable therapeutic approaches. Whether launching new platforms, navigating resource-constrained environments, or making strategic portfolio decisions, I\'m drawn to challenges where scientific rigor meets strategic thinking.I\'m passionate about mentoring the next generation of scientists and believe the best discoveries happen when diverse perspectives come together around shared goals. Always interested in connecting with others who are advancing breakthrough therapies that make a real difference for patients.
