Dr. Jeremy Levin is the chairman of the Biotechnology Innovation Organization. He is also the CEO of OVID Therapeutics. Formerly, he was a member of the executive committee at Bristol-Myers Squibb and chairman and CEO of TEVA Pharmaceuticals—where he was personally recruited by the President of Israel. He is the scientist who introduced immuno-oncology to the world 10 years ago and has been called one of the most influential figures in the biopharmaceutical industry.

On top of that, Dr. Levin has a fascinating life story, having been forced to flee South Africa during apartheid, and later working to develop vaccines in the heart of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.

Dr. Levin earned his B.A. in zoology, M.A. in cell biology and Ph.D. in chromatin structure, all from the University of Oxford, and his medical degree from the University of Cambridge.
