2025 Testimonials
This is my 6th or 7th Bio-IT World, but my first time attending the Venture, Innovation & Partnering forum! As a Bio-IT World regular, I tremendously appreciated the opportunity to hear major investors' and big pharma’s' perspectives on the AI-empowered post-genomic landscape and how today's existential economic challenges affect it. A must-attend for biologists to understand what business expects of us!
