Pre-Amp

✨ Reflecting on the 2024 Pre-Amp Fellowship Program ✨ Earlier this year, we had the privilege of hosting a group of talented fellows through the Pre-Amp Fellowship Program, where they explored the intersection of science, technology, and entrepreneurship. We’re excited to share an article that takes a closer look at the program and its impact. While the fellowship has concluded, the experiences and insights gained continue to resonate—and we hope this piece inspires others who are passionate about innovation in therapeutics. ➡️ Read more about the 2024 program on the Medium post here: https://lnkd.in/eVmaQPCF To all our fellows and mentors: thank you for making this program so special. Here’s to continued growth and collaboration in the years ahead! 🚀 #PreAmp #Fellowship #Innovation #ScienceAndTechnology
