More about the inaugural RMLIC
The conference will commence with a breakfast keynote presentation by Roy Davis who will lend his insight behind the world of biosciences and his expectations for the bioscience industry and what lies ahead for Johnson & Johnson. He will also delve into the world of partnerships and the importance of attending conferences and networking to build relationships and collaboration within the industry.
Over the last year, the State of Colorado has been anticipating Dr. Tom Cech's return to the University of Colorado Boulder and the implementation of the new Colorado Initiative for Molecular Biology (CIMB). Dr. Cech will provide the luncheon keynote presentation during the RMILC and give the audience a preview into his research and what the future holds. The CIMB will be opening its doors in December of 2011, and during Dr. Cech's presentation he will be able to discuss the collaboration and innovation that will generate from this unique project.
In addition to the two keynote presentations, the RMLIC will showcase two panel discussions during the day. The first panel, will be moderated by Dr. Patrick Mahaffy, President and CEO of Clovis Oncology.
