Our Company Creation Model
In 2014, Doug Melton, Ph.D., Director of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute and long-standing academic relationship with the MPM BioImpact team, made a groundbreaking research finding enabling the generation of human pancreatic beta cells from pluripotent stem cells, facilitating a potentially curative cell therapy for type 1 diabetes. Based on this discovery, MPM BioImpact, led by Managing Director Todd Foley, M.B.A., founded and incubated Semma Therapeutics alongside Dr. Melton and led the 2015 Series A round.
