Biotech Roots & Routes: Trust the Process... But Which One?
From lab to market, the path is never a straight line.
Whether it's navigating IP, finding your first customers, or figuring out when to leave academia, biotech and ag-tech founders face a unique set of challenges when building from scientific discovery.
Join us alongside the UBC MBA Society at the Big 4 Conference Centre at UBC Sauder for a candid conversation with founders and researchers who've done it, on what it actually takes to turn deep science into a real company.
Speakers:
Gavin Schneider, CEO, Maia Farms
Dr. Colin Juurakko, Founder, Advance Agriscience
Dr. Mallory Flynn, Co-Founder, Insporos
Dr. Jörg Bohlmann, Michael Smith Laboratories, University of British Columbia
Moderator: Siobhan Finan
If you're a researcher thinking about the jump, a founder in the thick of it, or just someone who cares about where science meets the real world, this one's for you.
