Join scientists and executives from local biomedical companies for the North Shore Technology Council’s First Friday Bioscience seminar series, sponsored by the Biomedical Technology Section. In this informal venue you will meet industry peers, learn about the science behind area biomedical companies, and hear how they tackle business challenges. You’ll also connect with other scientists and executives and become part of a community of business neighbors who are committed to accelerating the growth of their companies and the region biomedical business sector.

Description

Outsourcing pharmaceutical and biotech R&D work is at an all-time high and accelerating. Many scientists are asking “Would my experience have more value if I could build a contract lab”? Bootstrapping a scientific services company is expensive and difficult, but it can be done. Learn how in this experience-based talk.
