Aera Therapeutics

Last week, Team Aera dedicated an afternoon to strengthening our team and giving back to the community. We kicked off with a collaborative workshop focused on bringing our best ideas to the table, followed by packing over 165 backpacks filled with essential school supplies for local youth experiencing homelessness. It was great way to reinforce our commitment to a culture of continuous learning and positive impact.   A big thank you to Eileen Habelow, Ph.D. from Leadership-Link, Blake Nviri from Life Science Cares Boston, and Michael Lombo from School on Wheels of Massachusetts for making this day so memorable. Here’s to creating brighter futures, one backpack at a time!

The Aera team took to the water for our 2024 summer outing! We enjoyed a beautiful dinner cruise on the Charles River before heading through the locks at Charlestown and into Boston’s inner harbor to catch the sunset. There was plenty of fun and laughter amongst good company. It was a perfect way to unwind and connect outside of work.
