The Healthcare Technology Report is pleased to announce The Top 25 Biotech CEOs of 2022. Over the past year, these leading biotechnology executives and their organizations have demonstrated ingenuity, skill, and perseverance in solving tremendous challenges. The specialties of this year’s CEOs and their companies run the gamut from gene therapy to vaccine development, cancer treatment, proteomics, mRNA-based therapeutics, and much more. Many of the awardees have also found success in raising significant amounts of funding for their companies, which enables them to continue to have positive impact on the biotechnology field for years to come.

Through their tireless work, these CEOs have succeeded in advancing research and bringing breakthrough drugs and treatments to market. For instance, Franz-Werner Haas and his company CureVac are currently focused on the development of its second-generation mRNA COVID-19 vaccine candidate, CV2CoV, in collaboration with GSK. Meanwhile, Dr. Roy Smythe and SomaLogic have leveraged artificial intelligence and machine learning to develop its first-in-class, high-plex proteomics SomaSignalâ„¢ tests, which are redefining diagnostics in precision medicine. And the diverse pipeline of RNA vaccines and therapeutics of Joseph Payne and Arcturus Therapeutics includes programs pursuing COVID-19 and flu vaccines, rare diseases, Hepatitis B, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, cystic fibrosis, and glycogen storage disease type III.

One achievement all of our honorees share is the notable contributions they have made towards advancing the biotechnology industry.
