History of R&D Biotech Leadership Summit
Formerly the annual Chief Medical Officer West conference, the R&D Biotech Leadership Summit was introduced to now include those executives in small and emerging biotech who are responsible for R&D functions and is dedicated to accomplish two goals:
- To bring together senior level R&D executives to address the unique challenges associated with directing all R&D functions with limited resources, while raising capital and strategizing for appropriate exits.
- To create a network of R&D executives from emerging biotech/pharma companies to share ideas, solutions and support.
