About Scilentia
Scilentia is an immersive drug development accelerator that ignites the potential of scientists, physicians, and entrepreneurs.
Our competitive programs train, develop, and coach cohort participants on innovative drug discovery, development, and commercialization strategies and techniques.
Cohort participants emerge equipped with an integrated drug development plan that optimizes the probability of technical, regulatory, and commercial success, ensuring alignment between startups and their potential strategic partners.

Innovation Happens Everywhere.
Scilentia expands pharmaceutical and biotech company access to early-stage therapeutic startups that are emerging from academic institutions, medical centers, and startups located in regions of the country that have historically been under appreciated as sources of innovation.
These innovations present new opportunities to diversify and enhance drug discovery and development pipelines, for corporations searching for cutting edge technologies for their growing portfolios.
Scilentia corporate members can identify, recruit or collaborate with top scientific talent from every U.S. geographic region - even those that are outside the traditional areas of focus for large pharmaceutical companies.
