About the Event
This event will bring together professionals from academia, biotech and pharma with an exciting focus on leadership, innovation and investment in science. We will feature two panels speaking into the deeper parts of the queer experience in science-based organisations where leadership, innovation and investment are critical components of discovery, development, and commercialisation of scientific discoveries.
There will be time before and after the panel discussions for networking over drinks and light food.
Limited spots available, book your free place early to ensure attendance.
