Loved listening to my friend and client @Rhythmlink’s CEO Shawn Regan be interviewed for a live recording of @greenlightguru’s podcast this morning at @SCBiotech
@SCRAInnovation’s Bon Quinn asked panelists for “Wish List for the SC General Assembly.” Answers:
1. Invest more in @SCBiotech
2. Invest in education at all ages
3. Invest in health information exchange
4. Form life sciences/public health advisory committee/brain trust
Today's afternoon session has already been packed with phenomenal content with sessions on equity and inclusion and state-wide collaboration. Congratulations to Dr. Linda Bell for receiving the Life Sciences Individual Contributor of the year!
@NephronPharm’s creative hiring practices has allowed them to onboard over 3.3K employees over the past 3 weeks…odd hours, pay per day, fraternity and sorority competitions, etc. Now hiring some full time. A lesson in thinking outside the box at @SCBiotech 💯
@scdhec’s Dr. Bell at @SCBiotech re: social determinants of health: limited access to internet is a huge factor in lack of access to healthcare (via #Telemedicine) that could easily be addressed on a larger scale…something we all take for granted
Back at it at @SCBiotech with @scdhec Director Dr. Linda Bell, @PhRMA’s Courney Christian & Hi Mark Capital’s Herbert Drayton - currently talking ab Covid fatigue and complication rates across populations
We have this obsession with randomized controlled trials as gold standard 🥇 but they never accurately predict performance IRL. @US_FDA is shifting focus to Real World Evidence 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 @DrMichelleBIO @SCBiotech
“BioManufacturing has been neglected, but that is where the real innovation is needed…Supply chain shortages shine an even brighter light on this…Rate limiting step is increasingly manufacturing and SC is and can be a leader in this”@SCBiotech @DrMichelleBIO
It is terrifying that there is political pressure to roll back expedited approval pathways at the FDA due to public misunderstanding - they are critical for patients. Need state level advocacy and education! @DrMichelleBIO @SCBiotech
Recurring themes from our southeast CEOs: 1️⃣ importance of connectivity and a regional mindset // 2️⃣ building, training, and retaining talent // 3️⃣ cultivating and leveraging local resources #SEMDA2018
Great tip from @jpmorgan’s Joe Lee - critically important that southeast #medtech companies have pitches that are sleek and smooth bc time is the most critical resource for investors // #SEMDA2018
