Speaker Innovation for Health 2023


Peter de Keizer | Founder & Managing Director, Cleara Biotech

Peter de Keizer, PhD, is the founder of Cleara Biotech, a company aimed at targeting “scarred” types of cancer and senescence. Peter was trained as a molecular biologist at Utrecht University + Harvard Medical School/MGH (2004). He obtained his PhD in 2009 in the field of FOXOs and senescence, knowledge employed as postdoctoral fellow at the Buck Institute in California (2012). He designed the first compound to eliminate senescent cells, which improved the health of aging mice (Cell, 2017; >700 citations). In 2018, he joined the UMC Utrecht (NL), to investigate subtypes of senescence where became associate professor in 2020.



Cleara Biotech

Cleara is a biopharmaceutical R&D company dedicated to discovery and development of therapies against cancer and chronic diseases through selective elimination of specific subtypes of cellular senescence. Through detailed understanding of the molecular and biological pathways that underlie these individual pathological phenotypes, we set up disruptive, innovative and proprietary platform technology to design and optimize (peptide-based) therapeutics that exploit their weak spots for safe and selective clearance. Cleara’s lead FOXO4 program is focused on generation of disruptive and proprietary technology against “scarred” cellular senescence for treatment of metastatic, mutant-p53 cancer.
