Episode Details

In this episode of The BioHub by Avetix, I’m joined by Dan O’Connell, President and CEO of Acumen Pharmaceuticals.

Dan shares his journey from neuroscience investing and company creation into the CEO role, and how he has helped take Acumen from a private, preclinical biotech into a publicly traded clinical-stage company focused on Alzheimer’s disease.

We discuss the origins of Acumen, what it was like taking the company public with just nine people, navigating a difficult few years for biotech, balancing financial discipline with clinical progress, and the major readout ahead later this year.
