Meet the man behind the mission: Dan Montano, Chief Executive Officer of Zhittya Genesis Medicine.
Before biotech, Dan spent his career on Wall Street as an investment banker, leading the IPOs of more than 100 companies. In 1998, he made a different choice, stepping away from that world to devote himself fully to biotechnology.
That decision became the foundation of everything Zhittya is today. For over two decades, Dan has guided our mission: using FGF-1 to restore blood flow and give the body's own repair systems a chance to work, across Parkinson's, diabetes, chronic wounds, and more.
Today, we're celebrating Dan and the vision that started it all.
