Geraldine Harriman

Working for more than 20 years in drug discovery & early development, Gerry's strong experience allows her to move seamlessly from one area of science to another, guiding cross-disciplinary problem solving. Drawn to medicine at an early age, she was fascinated to learn how the body works at its most basic level. This, together with her love of innovation, chemistry and biology culminated into a desire to discover new medicines.

Prior to co-founding HotSpot, Gerry served as Vice President and Head of ACC Program at Nimbus Therapeutics, where she led the effort to discover a leading drug for NASH. She also served as Vice President at Galenea, co-led the Inflammation Therapeutic Area at Millennium Pharmaceuticals, and was a founding member of the scientific team at LeukoSite.

Gerry received her Ph.D. in Chemistry at the University of Rhode Island and completed her post-doc fellowship at The University of Kansas.
