Biotech Week Boston (BWB), where the heart, technology and business of science converge, has confirmed that Rick Berke, executive editor of STAT, will moderate a politically charged expert panel discussion, “President Clinton or President Trump: What Our Next President Will Mean for Biotech and Pharma,” on Thursday, Oct. 6 at 5 p.m.
The inaugural Biotech Week Boston conference takes place Oct. 4-7 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. The conference is chiefly interested in the forces of change driving the evolution of the technology and business of science to better meet the needs of patients in a value-based model. With a new President of the United States being sworn in next January, this highly anticipated one-hour political discussion boasts a distinguished panel of experts which includes;
- Mason Tenaglia, vice president, Payer and Managed Care Insights, IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics;
- Dr. David Meeker, executive vice president and head of Sanofi Genzyme;
- Kathleen Weldon Tregoning, senior vice president of Corporate Affairs, Biogen;
- Damian Garde, national biotech reporter, STAT; and
- Dylan Scott, Washington correspondent, STAT.
"Whether Trump or Clinton, the next president has the potential to tremendously impact the health, medicine, and life science arenas," said Rick Berke, Executive Editor, STAT. "By the time this panel takes place in October, our discussion will be all the more critical. We're thrilled to be a part of it, and we're expecting memorable insights from our experienced and wide-ranging roster of panelists."
“With such a terrific line-up of exhibitors and attendees at this year's Biotech Week Boston, our keynote speakers and panelists complement the world-class standards we’ve worked hard to develop over the years,” explained Russ Pratt, group portfolio director, KNect365, organizer of the event. “Importantly, Biotech Week Boston breaks down silos within companies, the value chain and industry to unlock greater collaboration between manufacturing, bioprocessing, clinical trials and regenerative medicine with the goal of getting new treatments to patients faster.”
