There is a large untapped pool of scientific and therapeutic potential due to a lack of experienced biotech entrepreneurs who can realize the value for patients and investors by translating the science into treatments.

Populus Bio addresses this experience gap, built on a solid foundation of people and experiences critical to expediting the delivery of novel impactful treatments to patients.

Proposition

Populus Bio accelerates the development of meaningful therapies for people with debilitating diseases. Our decades of global hands-on experience of drug development, and access to a network of industry-leading experts enables us to focus on accelerating promising science into accessible treatments for patients. We start with this end in mind and prioritize activities based on a clear path to a commercially available treatment; we de-risk projects by asking tomorrow’s questions today, ensuring focus on those activities that will move novel drugs towards registration, whilst maintaining a relentless drive to project execution.

We believe that biotech is a force for good, and we are proud to help build organizations that are committed to improving human health based on a strong and sustainable foundation of people. This requires perseverance, authenticity and humility to bring the best out of the people we work with to make our purpose possible.

We believe that people come before process. Our inspiration and ultimate benefactor of our work are all the people we collaborate with; patients, scientists, investors, employees and our advisors.

This is why we founded Populus Bio, a unique organization where people recognize that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Populus Bio brings together originator teams, scientists, clinicians, investors and functional experts to create accessible treatments for patients and value beyond what any individual can create on their own.
