Today we are talking to Joel Marcus. He has shaped the life sciences industry through ARE from the buildings we use to venture and fund investing. His impact can be directly seen in major cities across the US from Boston to NY to San Francisco with over 22million sq ft of space. Beyond Alexandria he is a philanthropist who supports veterans and their families, and through his initiatives people suffering from the opioid crisis, homelessness and mental illness. Please join me in welcoming Joel.
