On July 31, Winston Henderson, General Counsel at Clear Scientific Inc., joined a panel with Carl Berke (Mass General Brigham Ventures), Michael Freni (AI Digital Innovation Fund), and moderator Sherene Shenouda (Mass General Brigham Innovation) to discuss funding innovation in the Substance Use Disorder (SUD) space. The panel explored how stakeholders—including investors, researchers, hospital leaders, and policymakers—can collaborate to advance and commercialize solutions to the SUD crisis.
Winston’s panel followed a session with Chris Coburn and Roger Kitterman of Mass General Brigham, with key insights from Elena Koustova (NIDA/NIH). These discussions were part of the SUD Sprint initiative, led by Babson College’s Murphy Healey Center and supported by NIDA, aimed at accelerating innovation in SUD prevention and treatment through cross-sector collaboration.
