Biotech has roared back to life the past couple years, perhaps more than any other U.S. economic sector. Seattle’s biotech community is no different. Last year’s signs of revival include the ascendance of Juno Therapeutics, the burgeoning pipeline of Seattle Genetics, the kickoff of a study that could become a key part of the national precision medicine initiative, and Celgene’s decision to build an R&D center in town.
How should Seattle biotech seize the momentum? Join us at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center to take part in the discussion.
