The Importance of IP in Life Science: A Case Study

Intellectual property is often the cornerstone of a life science company. Without a strong, global patent portfolio, the value of the company may be diminished, decreasing the likelihood of receiving funding. A case study provides guidance on how to improve your IP strategy and successfully position your company for funding.

To be or Not to be An Entrepreneur

As founder and CEO of BioExplorer and now General Manager of Charles River's China operation, Dr. Kewen (Kevin) Jin is regarded as a legend in China's life science industry. Hear him describe his experiences as an early entrepreneur in China, and considerations you should make before making the leap to run your own company.

Business Plan Presentations: Case Studies

A company's business plan presentation can make or break the company, but what makes one effective and another not is not always obvious. This interactive session will have two "entrepreneurs" present mock business plans to a panel of executives and VCs who will determine what is good - and what is bad.
