Dr. Jayasuriya is an experienced venture capitalist with an extensive business, medical and scientific background, and broad experience in the women’s health field.

She was also a partner at Skyline ventures and prior to that at TVM capital. Dr. Jayasuriya’s former positions include Vice-President, Global Drug Development at Hoffman-La Roche.

Dr. Jayasuriya  noted “I am thrilled to join Gina Life as chairperson.  I have followed the company with interest for several years.  I am enthusiastic about their significant progress, and also, by their novel approach of using vaginal secretions as the source of diagnostic biomarkers.  The detection of ovarian cancer, especially in the early stages of disease, is a compelling unmet need in women’s health.”
