QUBIS has featured CV6 Therapeutics founder and CEO Dr. Robert Ladner in an article exploring why Northern Ireland was the right place to build the company.
Drawing on Bob’s piece, Science Is Not a Medicine, the article reflects on his early conversations with Professor Paddy Johnston, the scientists who relocated from Southern California and the talent recruited locally. It also explores the resilience, investment and expertise required to build a biotech company and advance its research toward potential medicines.
