Yesterday, I had the privilege of hanging out with an amazing group of Learn and Earn students. I got to share my nontraditional career path, talk about some l projects I've worked on, and introduce them to my network. Huge thanks to Dr. Jeff Cohen, Stephen Hunter and Matthew Bauer for being such gracious hosts and showing us the fantastic work at AlphaLab Health. And a big shoutout to Maria Geraghty for sharing your space with us. Cheyanne Bronzell owner of Phat Girlz a Cookin' served up some delicious food. I tried to snap some pictures, but the food was gone before I remembered (I was definitely being greedy). Not only did she deliver some great food she delivered a great message to the students, sharing her life experiences and how she got to where she is today. Accenture has an awesome program for these students, making sure they have a great experience. I know this firsthand because wherever Nicole Webster is involved, there's always intentionality and impact. Thanks, Nic, for letting me invite the students back to AlphaLab. Wishing these kids all the best in their future endeavors! #learnandearn #CitizensHelpingCitizens #workforcedevelopment Partner4Work Pittsburgh #FutureOfWork

Thank you, Bill Flanagan, for your engaging interview on Our Region's Business on WPXI-TV over the weekend! I enjoyed speaking with you and Megan Kahn Shaw, CEO of the Pittsburgh Life Sciences Alliance, about the growing importance of the #Pittsburgh region as a global life sciences and healthcare innovation leader. I also appreciate the opportunity to share CytoAgents, Inc's mission to develop a safe and effective solution to Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS), which is a severe overreaction of the immune system, commonly referred to as the Cytokine Storm. The full interview can be seen here: https://lnkd.in/e-WhCmHS #lifesciences #healthcareleadership #healthcareinnovation #CytoAgents Allegheny Conference on Community Development

President & CEO Ven Raju and Dr. Jeff Cohen of Allegheny Health Network sat with Bill Flanagan to discuss how a $10 million anonymous gift will assist the AlphaLab Health Revolving Investment Fund, which will accelerate the growth of our region's life sciences sector. They discuss how the Investment Fund will build on the early successes of AlphaLab Health startups like Parcel Health, Inc, which is bringing recyclable pharmaceutical packaging to market. Co-founders, Melinda Su-En Lee and Mallory Barrett share their story on WPXI-TV's "Our Region's Business." https://lnkd.in/ezt9WmaU

Our region's a national leader when it comes to R&D in healthcare and the life sciences, but we've lagged other places in turning all that knowhow into business investment, jobs, and economic growth. So, on WPXI's "Our Region's Business," Sunday at 11 on Channel 11, we're focused on efforts to unlock our full potential. We'll begin with $10 million, the value of an anonymous gift to invest in life sciences startups in our region. Ven Raju of Innovation Works and Dr. Jeff Cohen of Allegheny Health Network and AlphaLab Health talk about how they're going to put all that money to work, citing as one example the launch of Parcel Health, Inc, a portfolio company that's bringing recyclable pharmaceutical packaging to market. We'll catch up with co-founders Mallory Barrett and Melinda Su-En Lee at their new digs in Point Breeze. The new Pittsburgh Life Sciences Alliance has big plans to unlock our region's full potential. Megan Kahn Shaw, president and CEO, and Teresa Whalen, RPh, CEO of CytoAgents, Inc share their plans to accelerate the growth of our region's life sciences ecosystem. Stroke victims may benefit from the work of Neuro-Innovators, LLC, a Pittsburgh company raising funds for trials of a drug combo that can improve "neuro plasticity" to help the brain rewire itself. Co-founder and CEO Howison Schroeder explains how it can work. We top things off on top of two skyscrapers in downtown Pittsburgh with Mark Houser, co-author of a new coffee table book called "Highrises Art Deco," full of high-resolution images of historic skyscrapers across the country, including Pittsburgh's Cathedral of Learning, Gulf Tower, and Koppers Building. We tagged along on one of his monthly "skyscraper tours." #healthcare #lifesciences #neuroplasticity #stroke #entrepreneurship #startup #lifesciencesecosystem #skyscrapers #highrise
