Nazma Ilahibaks | CEO & Co-founder, JAMA Therapeutics

Dr. Nazma Ilahibaks is the CEO and co-founder of JAMA Therapeutics (JAMA Tx), apreclinical stage cardiac gene therapy spin-off from University Medical Center Utrecht in theNetherlands. JAMA Tx is tackling one of the hardest problems in genetic medicine for heartpatients: delivery. With over nine years of experience in non-viral drug delivery forcardiovascular applications, she is a co-inventor of the deVINCI delivery platform. Prior tofounding JAMA Tx, she held business development roles at the Netherlands’ largestcardiovascular center, where she drove international public-private partnerships with pharmaand medtech, and later at the country’s leading regenerative medicine ecosystem organization,supporting academic venture creation. Nazma holds a PhD in Regenerative Medicine fromUtrecht University and an MSc in Drug Innovation, from which she graduated with thedistinctions of honors and cum laude.


JAMA Therapeutics

JAMA Therapeutics (JAMA Tx) is a preclinical-stage cardiac gene therapy spin-off from the Experimental Cardiology lab at the University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands. Inherited cardiomyopathies affect roughly 1 in 200 to 500 people, yet care is still largely limited to symptom management or heart transplantation because disease-modifying cardiac gene therapy remains constrained by the safety and efficacy limits of today’s delivery vehicles in reaching the heart. JAMA Tx is developing two proprietary cell-derived nanoparticle delivery platforms designed to transport RNA, proteins, and programmable gene editors into hard-to-reach cells. Our approach combines biology-first delivery, endogenous cargo loading, and a platform strategy that supports multiple therapeutic programs. Through our proprietary delivery platform, we are advancing two cardiac gene therapy programs aimed at enabling durable, disease-modifying treatments for patients with life-threatening inherited heart disease.
