Karen Wu
Company: Lucerna, Inc.
Job title: President & Co-Founder
Bio:
I am a scientist-turned-biotech founder who’s all about RNA—studying it, imaging it, and now using it to discover new drugs. I co-founded Lucerna to bring our fluorescent RNA technology (Spinach™) out of the lab and into the hands of researchers and drug developers tackling some of the toughest biological questions.
Along the way, I have led fundraising, built partnerships, and steered our company through both exciting wins and tough seasons (shoutout to every biotech entrepreneur who had to make hard calls). I’m especially passionate about making RNA-targeted drug discovery faster, smarter, and more accessible.
Always happy to connect with fellow founders, scientists, or anyone building something cool.
