In an attempt to gain insights into clinical needs and pain points, we visited women’s and children’s hospitals across the country, talking to innovation groups and researchers. It was during a visit to Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston that we met our scientific cofounder, Katherine Gregory, RN, Ph.D. Kate had a unique background with hands-on clinical experience alongside academic and research credentials. She started her career as a neonatal intensive care unit nurse, received her Ph.D.
In the last three months, we have doubled the size of our team at Astarte Medical, which is both exciting and terrifying.

Maintaining our culture and preserving the passion for our mission is an integral part of our hiring process.
