Earlier this month, BioCentury’s Grand Rounds U.S. conference brought biopharma leaders, investors, and researchers from across the country to Seattle for several days of discussion and collaboration focused on advancing translational science.

The event highlighted the exceptional science and innovation emerging from the Seattle region while creating valuable opportunities for local leaders to engage with potential partners and investors.
