NewCo Boston 2017

CIC empowers innovators and entrepreneurs to fix the world: we are dedicated to providing infrastructure and community that nurtures and leverages the innovation ecosystem in Boston and abroad. CIC houses over 1400 companies across five international locations.  For our session at CIC, we will give an introduction to CIC followed by a presentation from AOBiome.


Presenter:
AOBiome is a Boston and San Francisco based biotech company focused on transforming human health through products that restore ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOBs) which current hygiene practices have stripped from the modern microbiome. Founded in 2013 by MIT Chemical Engineer David Whitlock and Patients Like Me founder Jamie Heywood along with co-founders Hilly Thompson and Lenny Barshack. The company is developing a novel class of therapeutics to improve skin health, hypertension, and other systemic conditions. AOBs convert ammonia to nitrite, an anti-microbial compound, and nitric oxide, a well-documented signaling molecule in the inflammatory process. AOBiome also owns the Mother Dirt branded line of consumer biome-friendly products targeted at restoring and maintaining the delicate balance of the skin biome.

This session will take place on the 5th Floor of One Broadway, in Kendall Square, Cambridge. One Broadway is steps away from the Kendall Square T station. Make sure to bring a government-issued photo ID when you check in with the lobby reception on the first floor, and proceed to the 5th floor. Follow the signs towards the Havana room down the hall. We're excited to have you!
