Team Spotlight Stories

Good investors invest in people.

That simple idea led to strategy of publishing more team spotlight stories on the Wyss Institute’s website and in our business-focused newsletter. The idea being that when people put money into a Wyss startup, not only are they supporting an idea that we have de-risked, but they’re also financially backing a cohesive team that has experience working together successfully.

• Solving tough problems together

• AminoX: making biologics safer with synthetic biology and advanced chemistry

• The OMNIVAX team sets out to follow their dream

• The power duo creating the future of sustainability

Building on the success of these stories, and our success in building community by recognizing our administrative teams, we launched a series of profiles of non-research teams that enable translation. The first on our machine shop was featured in a Harvard Gazette email, which brought a lot of traffic to our site.

• Protecting study participants and enabling researchers on the path to translation: Clinical Research Team spotlight

• An instrumental ingredient for innovation: Operations Team spotlight
