Meet Josephine Kebbeh D. PhD, a Biodesign founder at TMC Innovation from the class of 2024-2025. Josephine developed her independent consulting firm, JKD Consulting, in 2023 to assist early-stage startup companies and intellectual property lawyers with technical advising for novel immunotherapies. Previously, she received her Ph.D. in clinical and translational oncology and immunology from MD Anderson Cancer Center in 2020. Her Ph.D. dissertation deciphered the heterogeneous roles of fibroblasts on the immune cells within the pancreatic cancer microenvironment. Josephine received her B.S. in immunobiology from Brown University in 2016, where she received the Royce Fellowship to conduct anti-CEA CAR-T studies on colorectal liver metastasis and gastrointestinal stromal tumors. In light of this work, her role as a two-sport athlete, and her dedication to community service, Josephine received the Barker Prize from Brown University before graduation. She now aims to utilize her experiences to build a novel medical device to fulfill an unmet medical need for patient populations who have historically been disenfranchised and neglected.
