Congratulations Tia Lyles-Williams for being featured and having your work LucasPye BIO highlighted by United States Patent and Trademark Office!
Happy World IP Day 2023!
Dr. Tia Lyles-Williams, founder and CEO of LucasPye BIO, is creating a new community-powered infrastructure for the biotech industry in Philadelphia. Driven by the personal experience of losing family members due to inequities in healthcare, she is creating solutions for more equitable access to lifesaving medical treatment and professional opportunities for underserved communities.
To meet her goals, she relies on her 11 years of education, 22 years of working experience, and tireless dedication, sometimes culminating in 100-hour work weeks! She has also built a talented workforce, including a majority of women of color C-suite executives and over 30 community hires. Dr. Lyles-Williams has quickly pivoted past any ‘no’s’ to be the first LBGTQ+ African American woman to own and lead a biopharma manufacturing company at just 39 years old.
In advance of later this month, we will celebrate innovators like Dr. Lyles-Williams and their impact on their communities and the world. Stay tuned for more on !
