Boston Biotech CEO Conference
Presentation:
In “Buy or Build? Discovery, Development and Commercial Perspectives,” L.E.K. Managing Director and Head of the Life Sciences and MedTech practice for the Americas, David Barrow, will moderate a panel of distinguished executives who will discuss the trade-offs and nuanced implications of different approaches to both R&D and commercialization. The theme is especially relevant today, as the increased availability of capital for emerging biopharma companies has heightened smaller players’ ability to consider going-it-alone rather than partnering or licensing.
