Before joining Transcera, Justin worked in drug discovery at Ra Pharmaceuticals and then at UCB, focusing on macrocyclic peptide therapeutics. Justin earned his PhD in biological chemistry from MIT. Working in the Pentelute lab, he discovered new peptides that can be used to deliver macromolecular cargo into cells and across the blood-brain barrier. He graduated with a Sc.B. in chemistry from Brown University in 2012.
