Shaheen is an advocate, entrepreneur, and business leader. As Chief Strategy Officer for ARMI | BioFabUSA, Shaheen is working to realize the promise of biomanufacturing to deliver life-changing therapies for the world’s most costly chronic diseases, including the manufacture of insulin-responsive beta cells for diabetes. She co-founded Good Measures, a company harnessing the power of food as medicine. Good Measures was awarded a suite of patents by the U.S Patent Office and Shaheen is a named inventor. She was inspired to launch Good Measures following her eldest daughter’s diagnosis with type 1 diabetes.

Shaheen has dedicated herself to making life better for people living with diabetes. She authored The New York Times bestseller, “Elle & Coach,” about the experience of parenting a child with type 1 diabetes. This also led Shaheen to join the Board of Trustees for Joslin Diabetes Center, the world’s preeminent diabetes research, clinical care, and education organization. She was the 2011 National Chair of the JDRF’s Children’s Congress, served on the Advocacy Committee of the International Board, and is currently a member of the Greater New England Chapter Community Board.
