UCBRFA Distinguished Faculty Seminar Series: Professor Leslie Leinwand

Join us for an educational evening with Distinguished Professor Leslie Leinwand, who will present a virtual lecture titled "From Bench to Bedside: The Role of Science in Treating a Deadly Disease".

Professor Leinwand's presentation features her journey in finding and developing treatments for genetic diseases where none existed, with a focus on familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and the first FDA-approved drug in 2021 for this disease, developed by MyoKardia (a company co-founded by Professor Leinwand in 2012 and since been acquired by Bristol Myers Squibb).
