Harvard Chan–affiliated teams named finalists in President’s Innovation Challenge
Two teams with ties to Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health are among 25 finalists in the 2021 President’s Innovation Challenge presented by the Harvard Innovation Labs.
One of the Harvard Chan–affiliated finalists is Concerto Biosciences, a venture that discovers and develops specific combinations of microbes that, working together, accomplish important functions in human health, agriculture, and industry. The venture was co-founded by Adil Bahalim, DrPH ’20, Bernardo Cervantes, Cheri Ackerman, and Jared Kehe. Concerto Biosciences won a runner-up prize ($25,000) in the Health and Life Science track in last year’s challenge.
