Becky Butler Cap

Becky Cap, a 25-year veteran of the life sciences industry, was named chief operating officer of San Antonio-based GenCure in February 2016. GenCure, a subsidiary of BioBridge Global, is focused on providing process development and cGMP manufacturing services. Cap drove the intra-preneurial development and integration of these new service lines for BioBridge Global and supported the extension of other business unit offerings into the cell therapy and regenerative medicine space. GenCure’s mission is to realize the potential of donated human cells and tissue to save and enhance lives.

Cap, a native of Texas, earned a bachelor’s degree from Harvard University and an MBA from Boston University’s Questrom School of Management. She began her career at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, where she worked on early trials exploring the benefits of hematologic stem cell transplant for breast cancer and the effects of growth factors in high-dose chemotherapy trials.

Her move to industry began at Eidetics, a consulting firm focused on informing biomedical product development support. She supported US and global development and strategic marketing efforts for chemotherapeutics, leading monoclonal antibodies, tyrosine kinase inhibitors and immuno-oncology agents, including PD-1 and PDL-1 inhibitors. Her expertise was honed as Oncology became an active and competitive market in which physicians and patients had multiple treatment options available to them for their cancers. She started one of the first Oncology Consulting Practices in this strategic marketing and market research space. She also has run her own consulting firm and worked with a number of local startups in the San Antonio community.

Cap has provided strategic guidance for the development of pharmaceuticals and medical devices, both in large, established firms and early stage ventures. She has provided extensive entrepreneurial executive coaching and mentoring. She is an active member of local and national committees on Regenerative Medicine and Cell Therapy, two private company Boards of Directors and the Governing Committee for Seton Home. Additionally, Cap is a co-founder and founding president of San Antonio TechBoosters, a 501(c)6 organization established to mentor student entrepreneurs.
