What’s Hot in Boston Biotech: Here’s the Agenda

What's Hot in Boston Biotech

We’re just over a month away from our latest biotech bash in Boston, and with the agenda taking shape, we’re offering you a look at the proceedings today.

Our third annual iteration of “What’s Hot in Boston Biotech” features a mix of spotlight solo talks, candid stories, interactive discussions and more on a host of different hot topics in life sciences these days—from CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing to cancer immunotherapy to drug pricing. The event will take place on April 6 at Biogen’s campus on Binney St. in Cambridge, and you’ll hear from some the area’s top life sciences executives, scientists, and investors—folks like Chris Viehbacher, Phil Sharp, Deborah Dunsire, Greg Verdine and more.

The agenda is almost set—here’s a sneak peek. Tickets are going fast, but you still have some time to grab a discount if you register here before March 17. We’ll have more updates as they come. See you on April 6 at Biogen.
