Startup Grind hosts Elena Gross, KetoSwiss
Elena Gross, CEO and Founder of KetoSwiss is guest at Startup Grind’s the last virtual Fire Side Chat in 2020. She will share her personal health story and entrepreneurial journey.
Gross is the founder and CEO of KetoSwiss, a Swiss biotech startup, winner of this year's Top 100 Swiss startup public award. KetoSwiss develops highly potent therapeutic ketones for neurological disease prevention.
Elena started her career in academia. She used to be a chronic migraine patient and due to the lack of tolerable and efficacious treatment options, she pursued an MSc in Neuroscience at the University of Oxford. There, she discovered ketone bodies & their potential therapeutic use in neurological disease, which changed her life. Today, she is the inventor of two patents and has initiated & funded the first-ever clinical trial using exogenous ketone body salts in the world in her PhD at the University of Basel and University of Harvard Medical School.
Studying further with entrepreneurship at the University of Cambridge, Elena continues to blend the best of the research and startup ecosystems.
