Something special is happening in Boston biotech. While many regions struggle to fulfill their biotech dreams, Boston has seized momentum that could make it the world’s No. 1 life sciences cluster for a generation. The mix of great research institutions, small biotech companies, Big Pharma, and medical centers of excellence appears to be taking on a life of its own, attracting more and more life sciences energy to Boston. What has gone right? What’s still missing? What needs to happen next for Boston to make the most of this opportunity? Join Xconomy for a series of in-depth conversations with leading CEOs, venture capitalists, and scientific entrepreneurs who are creating the biotech future in Boston.
