“Longwood is one of my most trusted venture funds and Christoph Westphal and his team have proven to be a leading innovative resource for translating groundbreaking science into meaningful applications. Our promising co-investments are a testament to our strong partnership. Longwood also constitutes a first-class network of top players in the Boston Biotech ecosystem that I personally benefit from greatly.”

“My first experiences working with Christoph were during the founding days of Alnylam. Christoph brought the smarts, passion, and zeal needed to launch a company with a bold vision and mission. More recently, as a Longwood advisor, I enjoy seeing the ‘future Alnylams’ Christoph and his team are minting!”

“I have worked with Christoph and the Longwood Fund team since inception and have been thrilled to participate in each of their Funds as well as co-invest and collaborate directly alongside the team on promising deals they source with world-class science. It is also a pleasure to partner on their series of leading industry conferences.”

“I’ve known Christoph for over 20 years and worked with him as a founding scientific advisory board member of Alnylam and a founder and a member of the Board of Directors of Momenta. He is a visionary entrepreneur and did an amazing job helping to create both companies.  I’ve also very much enjoyed participating in his terrific conferences.”

“From the earliest days of Be Biopharma, Longwood has been a phenomenal partner. The team’s approach to launching the company was exceptionally collaborative, entrepreneurial, and practical – and the groundwork they laid provided a great basis for me to take the reigns when I entered as CEO. We’re building a company that we believe will change countless patients’ lives, and I’m grateful for the partnership.”

“I very much enjoy working with the Longwood team. It has been a fantastic experience to start a biotech company (Immunitas Therapeutics) with Christoph and his team.”
