There are some incredible humans on planet Earth and Dr. Shoshana Shendelman is one of them. Dr. Shendelman is a PhD in cellular, molecular, and biophysical studies, and has committed her professional career to tackling some of medicine's toughest challenges, curing rare and underserved diseases.
Dr. Shendelman sits on Columbia University's board of trustees and is vice chair of its medical board. She also IPO'd her company Applied Therapeutics, which eventually exceeded a billion-dollar market cap. But sometimes life takes unexpected turns. We can all relate. Applied Therapeutics and Dr. Shendelman's important research and development surrounding treatments for three diseases became entangled in an FDA procedural technical issue.
Thank you, Dr. Shendelman, for joining me on Some Future Day to share your inspirational journey across the business of biotech, academia, and family. Wait until you hear about this incredible family! Enjoy.
