About the conference:
BioCentury’s 1st R&D conference: At the Academia/Industry Interface
Join BioCentury, biotech decision-makers and the next innovators in Nashville Sept. 9-11, 2024.
BioCentury Grand Rounds will provide an interdisciplinary forum of top academic, investor, biotech and pharma R&D leaders that will showcase groundbreaking research, clinical insights and transformative technologies with significant commercial potential.
This conference, BioCentury’s first dedicated R&D meeting, will focus on the most upstream part of the drug development continuum, the academia/industry interface.
Grand Rounds Nashville will bring together academic innovators and physician scientists with VCs and pharmas looking for breakthrough discoveries and technologies, and provide a forum to discuss critical issues in translation. A particular goal is to give investors access to innovators they do not normally meet, and likewise enable those entrepreneurs to find avenues to commercialize their discoveries.
The conference will feature:
- Poster presentations by academic innovators
- Poster and oral presentations by presenting companies
- Fireside chats with key thought leaders in industry and academia
- Panel discussions on critical topics for the translation of scientific discoveries into drug development programs
- 1:1 partnering
- Networking
