CTL @ WCM Health Equity Panel, featuring Rachel Rubin, RSV VP of Investments and Programs

We're excited to share that on Tuesday, October 11th Rachel Rubin, VP of Investments and Programs at RSV, will be speaking on a special Health Equity Panel for the Center for Technology Licensing at Cornell University (CTL) at Weill Cornell Medicine.

Gender, ethnoracial background, income, housing, geographic location, etc., are just some factors that influence health and well-being. People of color and other marginalized groups are the most impacted by healthcare inequity, and experience higher rates of illness. Racial disparities, particularly, are estimated to cost $93 billion in excess medical care.

In this special panel, experts from academia, industry, government, and investment will provide insights on the state of healthcare discussing solutions to improve the conditions that drive health outcomes (equitable access to care, diversification of clinical trials, etc.), and will describe existing programs that can sustainably address health disparities with a commercialization and investment lens.

This panel was developed in collaboration with Johnson & Johnson and JLABS. Other panelists include:
- Moderator Lisa Placanica Ph.D., CLP, Senior Managing Director; Center for Technology Licensing @ WCM
- J’Vanay Santos-Fabian, MBA, Chief Executive Officer at MyLÚA Health
- Pierre Theodore, VP of Global Public Health at Johnson & Johnson
