Ben Cohn is a member of the business development group at MyoKardia, where he helps conduct search and evaluation for new licensing and partnership opportunities within the growing landscape of genetically-driven cardiomyopathies. He also leads competitive intelligence efforts to monitor potential entrants affecting strategic decision-making at the molecule program level.

Prior to MyoKardia, Ben worked in corporate strategy and translational research at the rare disease company Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical, where he helped build the company’s competitive intelligence program.
