Women in Biotech Networking Evening - September

Women from across the sector are invited to enjoy an evening of great networking and a thought provoking talk from our guest speakers, Professor Melissa Hanna-Brown, UK/EU and Analytical Lead, Pfizer and Dr Emma Sceats, CEO, CN Bio Innovations

Setting the agenda: women leading innovation within life sciences

Continuing our celebration of ten years of Women in Biotech, we are thrilled to welcome two inspiring speakers for this evening to discuss the role of women as both intrapreneurs and entrepreneurs in the life sciences.  Innovate UK’s recent infocus Women in Innovation campaign was established to challenge the low numbers of women entrepreneurs in the UK and to address some of the barriers to female entrepreneurship – lack of relevant role models and lack of confidence in applications for finance being two of them.  Why do these barriers persist and how can we tackle them? 

This evening will explore some of these themes, reflecting both on speakers’ personal career paths and learnings as successful innovators in life science – and also on the broader implications for the sector of the untapped potential of women in innovation, and the challenges of increasingly interdisciplinary nature of scientific discovery.
