DETAILS

They grew up in Brooklyn. Queens. The Bronx. Staten Island. They became top scientists, & eventually life sciences entrepreneurs. And like many others before them, they rose to biopharma prominence only after leaving New York.

They're the New York expats, & to many in the New York life sciences scene, they're seen as key to the area's ambitions to nurture & grow its biotech sector-if they'll only come back & lead companies in the Big Apple.

For one evening, Xconomy is going to make that happen. We are bringing together a few biopharma leaders who are ex-New Yorkers to lead a unique, candid discussion with the local biotech community. Why did they leave New York? What do they make of their former home from afar? And what would entice them, & others like them, to take a shot on a New York company?
