Estate of Henri Termeer

Based in Boston, Massachusetts, the Estate of Henri Termeer operates primarily through The Termeer Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to connecting life science innovators and catalyzing the development of new medicines for rare diseases. The organization operates with a core team of approximately 28 employees and relies on philanthropic donations to fund its various mentorship programs and healthcare initiatives. Focusing on the biotechnology and orphan drug sectors, the estate honors the legacy of former Genzyme chief executive officer Henri Termeer by supporting emerging corporate leaders in drug development. The organization manages the Termeer Fellows program to mentor next-generation executives and collaborated on the 2020 dedication of Henri A. Termeer Square in Cambridge's Kendall Square. The foundation was established in 2017 by co-founders Belinda Termeer and Alan Walts alongside a broader group of biotechnology executives.
