Interim Chief Executive
Bioscience LA
Hsieh, a former biotech executive who led the Los Angeles chapter of statewide industry trade group Biocom, last year took on a new role as interim chief executive of BioscienceLA, a Culver City-based industry catalyst group. Started in 2018 by Los Angeles County with the aim of expanding the region’s bioscience sector, BioscienceLA is now getting into the incubator business. Hsieh is raising funds to convert space in an old courthouse into a wet lab, an incubator for life science companies and transitional space for young companies. Before joining Biocom, Hsieh was chief executive of Meditope Biosciences, an early-stage biotechnology company and held senior management roles at other bioscience companies.Â
