DURHAM – February’s “Brilliant Minds” program proved that LaunchBio’s monthly networking event Larger Than Life Science just keeps getting better. And bigger.
Joe Lee, Executive Director of Life Sciences at JP Morgan (pictured above), and Peter Meath, Industry Head of Life Sciences at JPMorgan Chase, shared the trends that will shape the Life Sciences industry this year.
There was a line out the door and standing room only for that JP Morgan Healthcare Conference highlights presentation.
LaunchBio welcomed student-entrepreneurs, Davis Upchurch of North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, Meera Davis and Elizabeth Schwabe of UNC Chapel Hill, and Chris Fesmire of UNC and NC State University to share their cutting edge science.
The crowd had plenty of questions for Drs. Kevin Weeks and Katie Warner as they shared their journey from academic research to $30M Series A financing.
