Event Details

BioCentury is bringing Grand Rounds to Europe! Meet top academic, investor, biotech and pharma R&D leaders showcasing groundbreaking research, clinical insights and transformative technologies with significant commercial potential.

This conference, BioCentury’s dedicated R&D meeting, focuses on the most upstream part of the drug development continuum, the academia/industry interface.

Grand Rounds will bring together academic innovators and physician scientists with VCs and pharmas looking for breakthrough discoveries and technologies, and provide a forum to discuss critical issues in translation. A particular goal is to give investors access to innovators they do not normally meet, and likewise enable those entrepreneurs to find avenues to commercialize their discoveries.
