New England’s Emerging Biotech Stars: An Xconomy Forum In Pictures

Hollywood may be famous for its movie stars, but the Boston area has its own crop of celebrities… in biotech, that is. We showcased which companies and entrepreneurs are the ones to watch this past Wednesday at our Xconomy Forum: New England’s Emerging Biotech Stars. Biogen Idec was a gracious event host—and provided some insightful speakers for the program. Many thanks to our event sponsors: Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Center for the Advancement of Science in Space, Cubist Pharmaceuticals, Guard Dog Brand Development, Halloran Consulting Group, Kelly Scientific Resources, and MFA-Moody Famiglietti & Andronico.

Entrepreneurs, executives, and investors took the stage, representing both emerging and established biotech companies and research foundations. You can peek at them in the pictures below, and catch a glimpse of the top-notch networking that took place.
