What’s Hot in Boston Biotech 2019: The Photos

From gene therapy’s renaissance to the uncertain future of Alzheimer’s treatments, it’s a challenging but exciting time in the life sciences. Xconomy’s recent What’s Hot in Boston Biotech forum gathered a stellar group of industry leaders to dissect and reflect on many of the sector’s most urgent issues—and have a bit of fun, too.
