We extend a warm welcome to Jennifer O'Neil, Ph.D., our latest addition to the leadership team as Senior Vice President, Discovery Biology. Often described as impatient when it comes to getting scientific results, as a Commonwealth native, Jen has displayed endless patience when dealing with Massachusetts traffic and the Bourne Bridge, especially when traveling to and from her beloved Cape Cod during the summer months. #ferroptosis #redox #cancer #immunology #biotech #drugdiscovery #capecod

Developing transformative medicines based on a groundbreaking approach to ferroptosis and cell state biology
About us
Based in Boston, Massachusetts and named after the Japanese deity that tamed fire for the good of humanity, Kojin is harnessing groundbreaking discoveries in cell-state and ferroptosis biology to develop first-in-class treatments for use in patients with cancer, and autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, among other disorders. Kojin has developed a drug-discovery platform that integrates computational chemistry, structural biology, chemical biology, target-informed screening, and mechanism-driven pharmacology to discover therapeutics that specifically modulate ferroptosis, a recently discovered and characterized cell-death mechanism. The Kojin team brings together scientific leadership in chemical biology, genetics, immunology, cancer therapeutics, drug discovery, and clinical development, as well as broad experience in biotechnology entrepreneurship.

Kojinites Sneha Basak, PhD and Ayesha M. Patel, PhD recently headed north to New Hampshire to attend the Enzymes, Coenzymes and Metabolic Pathways Gordon Research Conferences, “New Methods in Enzymology and Chemical Biology to Aid the Study of Mechanisms and Metabolic Pathways." The conference highlighted a broad range of topics from chemical biology, biocatalysis, mechanism and function of enzymes, to therapeutic applications in enzymology. Kojin is proud to provide professional development opportunities that help team members gain new skills to bring to their important and innovative work in drug discovery. We’re hiring! #ferroptosis #enzymology #cancerresearch #biotech #drugdiscovery #hiring
