The US Government awards $55B+ annually to Life Sciences organizations for R&D and procurement of drugs, biologicals, and medical devices. These awards provide an alternate source of non-dilutive financing for start-up biotech and life sciences organizations focused on R&D.
During the event, tow experts will share their insights. They include:
-
Stephen Morris, Ph.D., Managing Director, Industry Specialty Services- Biodefense and Government Contracting, BDO US
