Xconomy Forum: Boston Life Sciences 2028

What will the Boston life sciences landscape look like twenty years from now? Will this area remain the world’s leader in university and corporate research, venture financing, and entrepreneurial activity? Will local firms be dominating a marketplace built around personalized medicine, RNAi-based drugs, and stem-cell therapies? Will the ever-increasing competition from other states and nations have leveled the playing field?

We’re assembling a select group of life sciences innovators and thinkers to talk about these and other key questions in an invitation-only event. This intimate conversation will be led by:

Phillip Sharp
Institute Professor MIT, Nobel Prize winner, co-founder of Biogen, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, and Magen Biosciences

Noubar Afeyan
Co-founder, managing partner, and CEO, Flagship Ventures

Raju Kucherlapati
Scientific director, Harvard Partners Center for Genetics and Genomics, professor of genetics and medicine, Harvard Medical School

Note: To ensure that everybody has a chance to participate in the discussion we’re only selling a limited number of tickets (at $50 apiece) for this Xconomy Forum.
