Prior to that, Iris held leadership positions in, or consulted for top Big Pharma (GSK, Eli Lily, Takeda and Teva – where she was VP, Head of Early-Stage Development). She specializes in leveraging multi-dimensional genomic insights and eHealth as engines of therapeutic discovery, development and lifecycle management across a wide range of modalities and therapeutic areas. Iris serves as chairman of the SAB at BC Platforms, and as Strategic Scientific Advisor at Modulight.bi, and CGRP Diagnostics. Dr. Grossman earned her B.Sc. in medicine at the Technion, and a Ph.D. in medicine, population genomics and pharmacogenetics from the Technion, co-mentored with the Weizmann Institute.
