Inspirational Women in STEM and Tech: Dr. Kate E. Broderick of ‘INOVIO’ On The 5 Leadership Lessons She Learned From Her Experience

1/2/21

I have been with the company for 14 years and have loved every minute! Our technology is so revolutionary, and I am constantly excited to go to work.

Can you share the most interesting story that happened to you since you began at your company?

Goodness I have so many! This year, it was so inspirational to represent the company in Geneva at the World Health Organization meeting where COVID-19 was first discussed. It was such a critical time early in the pandemic and an important moment for INOVIO.

What do you think makes your company stand out? Can you share a story?

Without a doubt, our technology makes INOVIO stand out. I am confident that INOVIO’s technology will change the world. Our DNA medicines platform has the ability to treat and protect people from infectious diseases, HPV-associated diseases and cancers, as well as provide an innovative strategy for monoclonal antibodies. We have been able to build such an exciting technology platform through the dedication of our brilliant staff. I think the fact that the company truly feels like a family helps us all work together towards our exciting goal of helping to improve the health of people and communities around the world by harnessing the power and potential of DNA medicine.

Are you working on any exciting new projects now? How do you think that will help people?

Absolutely — the COVID-19 vaccine program is probably the most important work of my career. 2020 has been an intense year. The organization has been working non-stop, working diligently but safely to get our DNA vaccine candidate through the clinical development process. Although the effort has been exhausting, every day we are reminded of the critical and pressing need for vaccines to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. We are inspired to push on and have the opportunity to potentially impact people around the world through the use of our DNA vaccine candidate INO-4800.
