Greg Verdine, PhD, is a leader in the discovery, development, and commercialization of new drug modalities, a repeat founder, and the newest venture partner at CFI Bio + Health. He is joined by Vineeta Agarwala and Jorge Conde, general partners at CFI Bio + Health.
When Greg started out in science, he heard other researchers referring to certain targets as “undruggable.” In response, he’s devoted his life to drugging the undruggable, cofounding the field of chemical biology along the way. After a robust career founding multiple biotechs and serving as the cofounder, chairman, and CEO of FogPharma, he is the newest venture partner at CFI Bio + Health.
