Grand Rounds heads to Europe: first meeting Sept. 17 in Cambridge, U.K.

There are many reasons why it may be the European biomedical ecosystem’s moment to shine, and advances at the academia-industry interface are a core part of that story, particularly in Cambridge, U.K. — the site of the inaugural BioCentury Grand Rounds – Europe conference.

On a special edition of the BioCentury This Week podcast, BioCentury’s analysts are joined by four leaders in the Cambridge, U.K., life sciences community to preview the Sept. 17-19 meeting: Kathryn Chapman, executive director of Innovate Cambridge; Anne Horgan, partner, Cambridge Innovation Capital (CIC); Sally Mardikian, business development director, Astrazeneca plc (LSE:AZN; NASDAQ:AZN); and Kristin-Anne Rutter, executive director of Cambridge University Health Partners (CUHP).

The BioCentury team and its Cambridge counterparts discuss the conference’s themes and how they relate to the region’s strengths, and offer both some tough love and a warm invitation to early-stage innovators looking for science-forward investors and partners.
