The BIO International Convention (BIO) annually attracts over 16,000 biotech and pharma leaders who come together for one week of intensive networking to discover new opportunities and promising partnerships. How do you ensure you have the necessary clinical, regulatory, and competitive landscape information around your specific therapy area to guarantee informed conversations with potential partners?


EXCLUSIVE PRE-BIO WEBINAR:
Applying Competitive Intelligence to Navigate the Changing Disease Landscape

In preparation for the 2017 BIO International Convention, Clarivate Analytics and BIO have teamed up to offer this free webinar where we will use neurodegenerative disease as a use case to demonstrate the critical information and analysis needed to be first in class and/or best in class for a therapy area. 

David Dunn, US Practice Lead and Scientific Advisor for Portfolio and Licensing, Clarivate Analytics will analyze the pipelines of three leading neurodegenerative diseases: Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and ALS. In this webinar David will examine current therapeutic hypotheses and the industry’s track record in finding therapies based on them.

ON SITE PRESENTATION:
Russian Delegation Panel

The pharmaceutical industry has faced enormous pressures over the last few decades. Declining revenues, increasing payer pressures, and a constantly changing regulatory landscape have forced all companies to identify processes to increase innovation.  However, to date, no one agrees on precisely how to measure innovation or how to interpret these results to understand the state of the industry.  This presentation will examine and compare previous attempts to measure the state of innovation in the pharmaceutical industry and combine the best aspects of previous attempts to calculate quantitative measures of innovation.

Richard Harrison is confirmed to speak on this panel, but date, time, and location have yet to be confirmed. Check back for updates.
