Bio

Hannah Payette Peterson is a Berlin-based bio/neurotech venture analyst, biomedical master's student and artist making surreal, science-inspired paintings. She is also the founder of Osmosis, a Berlin-based movement bringing together diverse minds to drive progress, discovery and culture across art, science and tech. She previously studied biology and worked in neuroscience research. She is originally from Boston, USA and lived in Chile and Spain before settling in Berlin. Bridging the gap between science, tech, and art, she seeks to drive progress through collaboration and creativity.

In her scientific and venture capital career, Hannah specializes in early-stage bio- and neurotech investing and company building, identifying promising discoveries in their earliest stages. With a strong background in academic research, she supports scientific founders in translating innovation into impact. She's committed to growing Berlin's biotech scene, and she leverages her Boston roots to bridge European and US entrepreneurship.

Hannah's artwork is very much inspired by her love of science (especially biology and astronomy) and science fiction. Her pop-surrealist style, developed with influence from artists such as Rene Magritte and magical realist literature, allows her to mix several ideas and themes into one painting to create dreamlike worlds. With her work, she hopes to remind people to consider the beauty of nature and the cosmos, and the tiny place we occupy within it.
