The Termeer Effect
The Termeer Institute is leading the way into a new era in life sciences—one where values-driven leaders are supported, empowered, and connected; scientific discovery knows no borders; and the exchange of ideas and experiences drives better health outcomes, all with the ultimate goal that every patient has a cure.
The problem
Despite scientific breakthroughs, nearly 90% of drug candidates fail before they reach patients.
Our Solution
Leadership as a
Force Multiplier
Bringing new treatments to patients is a monumental challenge. While technical and financial hurdles play a role, one often-overlooked factor is leadership.
At the Termeer Institute, we believe strong leadership increases the probability of success in biotech.
By equipping founders, CEOs, and scientists with the skills, networks, and mentorship they need, we empower them to develop life-changing cures and solve healthcare’s greatest challenges.
