CAR-T. Gene therapy. RNA interference. These aren’t just science experiments. They’re real, cutting-edge medicines either just on the market or soon to be. And the implications of their arrival was the focus of a few spirited discussions at Xconomy’s “What’s Hot in Boston Biotech” event last week at the Broad Institute in Cambridge, MA.
Today, we’re checking back with a small taste of the festivities through a slideshow and some takeaways, but first some thank-yous to everyone who made the event possible:
Thanks to our attendees and speakers. Thanks also to our event host, the Broad Institute, and our sponsors Fish & Richardson, ICON, Sanofi, and Ten Bridge Communications. And a hat tip to Keith Patankar for the pictures.
With that, hope you enjoy the photos and see you again next time!
