30 Years of Biotech Investing

Companies created by MPM BioImpact include portfolio companies where MPM BioImpact was a co-founder or early lead investor from 2010 to today, representing the period that MPM BioImpact’s strategy has been focused on company creation.

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.
