​🩷 SHE C's: Cancer, Care, Capital & the Cure
Building & Backing the Future of Women's Cancer Innovation

​This October, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we're bringing that energy back for a Philly FemTech Fridays gathering: a curated breakfast conversation on Women's Health Innovation in Oncology — co-hosted by Women's Health Advocates, BioLabs PHL, and Unapologetic Ventures, alongside Philadelphia's broader Women's Health and life sciences ecosystem.

​Join us for a morning where oncology expertise meets venture capital. We'll hear from clinicians, founders, and funders in conversation on what it takes to build — and back — the future of women's cancer care, featuring:

• ​Dr. Tiffany Troso, Oncologist & Author — with a special launch moment for her new book, Calming the Cancer Chaos (September 1) : order here for book signing https://drtiffanytroso.com/calming-the-cancer-chaos-6873

• ​Victoria Xu, CEO & Co-Founder of miRoncol — microRNA-based diagnostics & therapeutics for oncology

• ​Crystal Jin, CEO & Co-Founder of Bound Therapeutics — a Jefferson spin-out advancing next-generation cancer therapeutics

• ​Jean Cho, CEO & Co-Founder of Trevarx BioMedical — a UPenn spin-out building new approaches to women's cancer care

• ​Mellie Chow, Founder & General Partner at Unapologetic Ventures, moderating the conversation

​This gathering is about more than a panel — it's about building PHL ecosystem density around Women's Health Innovation: giving FemTech founders a platform to be seen and uplifted by the local community, creating a space for collisions and collaborations that outlast the event itself, and celebrating the survivors, providers, and innovators whose courage and commitment drive the science forward. We're also using this moment to spotlight the case for stronger funding, data, and research behind Women's Health Advocacy.

​📍 Friday, October 16 · 9:00am – Noon · Breakfast
BioLabs PHL, The Curtis — 601 Walnut St, Suite 825, Philadelphia, PA 19106
