About me
Brings Impact. Results-driven. Futurist.
Dr Jean Claude Scicluna MD is a modern physician who loves to challenge the status quo. He's a passionate do-er of things that bring impact.
He brings a diverse portfolio of experience across cardiovascular health, national drug reform, cannabinoid /psychedelic medicines and healthcare technology.
He injects energy and a cool perseverance to his entrepreneurship, as well as a touch of humour.
When he's not inventing, networking or pitching, you'll find JC singing and strumming his guitar for anyone who will listen.
