Jeremy will share his journey from academia to industry, drawing on real-world examples of building and scaling biotech companies, and the lessons he has learned along the way. We'll explore what it takes to turn breakthrough science into viable businesses, navigate the challenges of biotech entrepreneurship, and bring promising innovations closer to patients. The session will feature a 30-minute talk followed by an interactive Q&A, offering aspiring founders the opportunity to learn from Jeremy's experience and ask questions about building in biotech and medtech.
