Oct. 11th – Marcadia Biotech: Launching and operating a virtual life sciences company
Kent Hawryluk talks virtual life sciences with IBEN. Kent was co-founder and VP of Business Development for Marcadia Biotech, before it was purchased by Roche. Reports state the deal could be up to 537 million dollars based on performance, only four years after it’s founding.
As technology and the market evolves, running a life sciences company virtually is becoming a popular strategy. Join us for this rare opportunity to discuss these strategies and the Marcadia story with one of their founders.
