Xconomy's EXOME Presents: New York's Life Science Disruptors
Event Information
Description
For so long, the life sciences scene in New York has been missing a key ingredient needed for any biotech hub to flourish--the full attention of biotech venture capitalists. That, however, is changing fast. Over the past year, New York’s radical biotech transformation has drawn some of the country’s best-known life science company creators into the big city with big dollars to spend. And they’ve started putting that money to work by forming some of the most high-profile startups the city has seen in some time.
Join Xconomy at the Alexandria Center for Life Science. We’re taking this important topic head on with a unique, interactive evening featuring a trio of candid stories and insights from some of the area's top innovators, researchers, and venture backers committed to turning New York into the nation’s next great biotech cluster.
