Philina Lee, PhD is the Chief Executive Officer of AdvanCell, a clinical-stage radiopharmaceutical company developing targeted alpha therapies for cancer built on a proprietary Lead-212 platform. A biopharmaceutical executive with more than two decades in oncology, she was Chief Commercial Officer at Blueprint Medicines (acquired by Sanofi for roughly $9.5 billion) and earlier helped build the organization at Algeta that launched Xofigo, the first approved alpha therapy. Trained as a cell biologist at MIT, she took the AdvanCell helm on January 1, 2026 to lead the company's US expansion from a new Boston-area headquarters and advance its lead candidate 212Pb-ADVC001 for prostate cancer.

Akira Robinson is a biotech and pharmaceutical commercialization leader with roughly two decades of experience turning early-stage science into market-ready medicine. He is a Partner and Chief Experience Officer at the life-sciences consultancy Scimitar Inc. and serves as interim Chief Commercial Officer at Nucleus RadioPharma. He built and scaled the launch practice at EVERSANA to more than 20 consultants, and has stepped into interim CCO and COO seats across the industry. With a Harvard biochemistry degree, a Johns Hopkins biotech master's, and a stint as a Wall Street biotech equity analyst, he blends scientific fluency with commercial operating chops, lately focused on radiopharmaceutical therapies and AI-driven commercialization.
Convergent Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company in Cambridge, Massachusetts developing next-generation targeted radiotherapies for cancer. Its lead candidate, CONV01-α, is a PSMA-targeted monoclonal antibody linked to the alpha-emitting radioisotope actinium-225, designed to deliver tumor-killing radiation to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer while sparing healthy tissue. The technology, pioneered in the lab of PSMA-targeting pioneer Dr. Neil Bander and licensed from Cornell University, is led by oncologist Dr. Philip Kantoff.
AdvanCell is a vertically integrated, clinical-stage radiopharmaceutical company developing a pipeline of targeted alpha therapies (TAT) for cancer, powered by its proprietary Lead-212 (212Pb) alpha isotope generator technology. By solving the chronic supply bottleneck of alpha-emitting isotopes, AdvanCell aims to deliver highly potent, tumor-specific radiation that destroys cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. Its lead asset, ADVC001, a 212Pb-PSMA therapy, is in clinical trials for metastatic prostate cancer, with a deepening pipeline targeting melanoma, ovarian, breast, and lung cancers.
Philip Kantoff is a medical oncologist who spent three decades shaping how the world treats prostate cancer, then walked away from running medicine at one of the country's largest cancer hospitals to start a company. As co-founder and CEO of Convergent Therapeutics in Cambridge, Massachusetts, he is developing CONV01-alpha, an alpha-emitting radioantibody that hunts down prostate tumor cells and irradiates them at close range. He has published more than 500 papers, been cited over 85,000 times, mentored a generation of oncology leaders, and at an age when most peers retire, raised $90 million in Series A funding to bring a new class of cancer therapy into the clinic.
Ratio Therapeutics is a Boston-based clinical-stage biotech engineering next-generation targeted radiopharmaceuticals for solid tumors. Its proprietary Trillium and Macropa platforms tune how radioactive cancer-killing payloads travel through the body, aiming to deliver a lethal dose to tumors while sparing healthy tissue. Backed by major pharma partners including Novartis, Bayer, Lantheus and Bristol Myers Squibb, Ratio is advancing FAP- and SSTR2-targeted programs from imaging into therapy.
Bill Cupelo is the Chief Business Officer of Ratio Therapeutics, a Boston-based biotech building targeted radiopharmaceuticals that aim to both image and treat cancer. A chemist by training who learned to sell science, he spent more than a decade at imaging CRO Invicro, climbing from software product manager to head of sales, before bringing his sponsor-side, science-first mindset to Ratio's pipeline of alpha-emitting radioligand therapies. He also serves as Treasurer of the Massachusetts Nuclear Medicine & Radiopharmaceutical Council.
Abdera Therapeutics is a precision oncology biotech engineering antibody-based radiopharmaceuticals that deliver therapeutic radioisotopes directly to tumor cells while sparing healthy tissue. Built around its proprietary ROVEr platform, the company is advancing ABD-147 in Phase 1 trials for small cell lung cancer and large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma, with a second program, ABD-320, on deck.
