Imperial White City Incubator

Delighted that Imperial College London has been shortlisted for the "Outstanding Entrepreneurial University" category at the Times Higher Education Awards 2024! Having been on both sides—as a startup founder and now as a member of Imperial's innovation ecosystem— admittedly I was very curious to see what entrepreneurship looked like at a leading STEM University. I've been blown away by the quality of "real world" support, expertise and commitment that I've encountered, together with the sheer genius being harnessed to solve human and planetary challenges through scientific innovation. I'm delighted that it's been recognised at such a prestigious level! 🏆 A shoutout to my colleagues, Imperial's startup founders and collaborators who make our ecosystem thrive. It’s such a pleasure to work alongside you to drive impact and innovation forward! 💪 https://lnkd.in/eEJmuQfT

This year Imperial's #Incubator celebrated 18 years of supporting lab-based businesses to startup and thrive. 🚀 After the success of our Showcase event, we're continuing to profile the amazing innovators in our community who are applying their expertise, skills and leadership to build businesses that create a safer, healthier and cleaner future. ✨Introducing our featured founder, Dr Chiara Board! 👩🔬 Dr. Chiara Board is the force behind P.Happi®, a startup she kicked off in 2020 after completing her MSc (Advanced Chemical Engineering) and PhD (Chemical Engineering, Synthetic Biology) at Imperial. 🎓 P.Happi®'s development has been propelled by Chiara’s determination to turn her personal frustration into innovation and give women greater control over their wellbeing. A sufferer of bladder conditions, Chiara had tried countless solutions ranging from aggressive antibiotics regimens to natural remedies (such as cranberry juice and probiotics) in what felt like a never-ending cycle. Realising that the recommended treatments had remained unchanged for generations, she saw an opportunity to create a new scientifically-backed solution to address this underserved area of women's health 🔬. Under her vision and leadership, P.Happi® has launched a game-changing natural serum featuring the unique bacterium Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus (B.Y.M.® 1405), the first product with this ingredient available in the market 🦠. This "good" bacterium protects the microbiome of the intimate area by targeting harmful bacteria while safeguarding the protective flora, fortifying the body’s natural defences and helping to reduce ongoing risks. In contrast to supplements taken orally, the product does not need to travel through the whole body before reaching the target area (read more about the science behind P.Happi® here: https://lnkd.in/e9-4JDEi). 🛒 Since launching, the company has quickly demonstrated traction, securing listings with the leading independent pharmacy chain Avicenna and Prince Pharmacy (visit https://lnkd.in/erkepNw6), selling online and winning prestigious grants to further its research. As a key member of the White City Incubator community, Chiara continues to inspire her peers and aspiring founders through her entrepreneurial drive and commitment to using science to serve women better. 👏 Congratulations Chiara! #IncubatorLife #WhiteCityIncubator #YourSpaceToGrow #ImperialEcosystem #SpeedingScience #IncubatorCommunity #InTheLab #ScienceSpaces #BusinessGrowth White City Innovation District | Imperial Enterprise | Imperial Enterprise Lab | Imperial Venture Mentoring Service (IVMS)
