Wed Jan 28 2026
What began as a temporary move to "help dad out" during a global crisis quickly evolved into a high-stakes mission to reinvent women’s health.
Lucy Hope’s family journey is rooted in a century-old story, sparked by the loss of her great-grandfather in the 1919 flu pandemic.
She’s been a huge part in the story of Virustatic for years, and is now branching into her own field, founding The Daughters of Mars.
Join us to explore how Lucy is pioneering her family’s scientific research for a new age, the emotional reality of your parents’ legacy, and what it’s like to go solo from your family’s firm!
