This Thursday, join Tim Harris and Philip Goelet for a fascinating public discussion that blends science, business, and ethics. This wide-ranging conversation will delve into the development of the biotechnology industry, its roots in academia, and what research scientists should know about commercializing their work.
After the event, attendees can purchase advance copies of Tim Harris’s In Pursuit of Unicorns (not yet available for general release) at a special discount, with a book signing and meet and greet with the author.
“Unicorns takes the reader on a fascinating journey from the beginnings of recombinant DNA technology to today’s cutting-edge science and novel therapies. Few people have been part of this extraordinary expedition the way the author has and no one has shared his experiences in such a lucid and captivating style.” — Stelios Papadopoulos, ex-Chairman of Biogen and a former biotech investment banker with SG Cowen and PaineWebber
