VPTC and VaBIO are teaming up once again to co-host this Life Sciences Luncheon which will feature Mike Drzal, an attorney with the law firm LeClair Ryan, and Dr. Jonathan Sackier. Together they will provide an overview of strategic alliances and review how business and financial objectives can be achieved by leveraging them, illustrated by a few real life case studies.

These informal sessions, geared toward those in the life sciences industry --which includes bioengineering, biomedical, biotech, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare-- aim to provide practical, nuts-and-bolts lessons to help entrepreneurs hone the skills needed to create, manage and grow successful life sciences businesses at any stage. In addition, these events facilitate networking amongst area life science industry professionals.
