As this year’s #mitshbc draws to a close, we extend our gratitude to our wonderful sponsors, speakers, attendees and organizers.
Thank you @pfizer, @InterSystems, @JNJNews, @sanofi, @PutnamAssociate, @Merck, @mit_ilp, @MITSloan, Rock Capital, and Hercules for your support!
Great advice from Dan Skovronsky for attendees considering entering biotech or pharma: “Do it because you care about the patients, and you believe in the science." #mitshbc
"Before, it was all about how big your tower was, and how well equipped you were for a lot of R&D. Now, it's much flatter - because a good partnering strategy, how well you can sense and evaluate new and exciting technologies, is critical.” - Dan Skovronsky #mitshbc
Tuning into #mitshbc#healthcareconference and apparently even execs at InterSystems - arguably a leader in #healthIT#interop - needed to have 3 screens open at the same time to book COVID vaccine appts in MA...
Great insights from Chris Hicks from @mavenclinic on the importance of keeping constant human connection throughout the duration of a program to drive patient adherence #MITSHBC#healthcare#healthcareconference
"Consumers aren't saying I want in-person care or virtual care. They're just saying I want healthcare." -Anmol Madan from @TeladocHealth on extending the reach of the existing healthcare system through virtual care. #MITSHBC
Now hearing from Dr. Mark Bussard, Founding Partner & Managing Director at Rock Springs Capital, Dr. Bijan Salehizadeh, Managing Director @NaviMed, and Dr. Ann Dewitt, General Partner at MIT Engine, on their perspective on financing as a tool for transformation in healthcare.

Thank you to Amit Srivastava from @pfizer, Ademola Osigbesan from @UNITAID, Mandar Paralkar from @SAP, and Guadalupe Hayes-Mota from @ultragenyx, for a great discussion around innovation in scale-up and supply chain! #mitshbc#healthcare
"We'll likely face another major infectious disease in this century, and we are lucky that COVID-19 occurred at a time when mRNA vaccines were under development. But we can take the valuable learnings...to be more prepared in the future." -Patrick Boyle from @Ginkgo#mitshbc
Adapting to the speed that the virus is evolving at is critical, "particularly for protecting the most vulnerable populations in the U.S. and globally" -Andrew Adams, VP of New Therapeutic Modalities @LillyPad#mitshbc#healthcare#healthcareconference
We are with Andrew Charles Adams from @LillyPad, Maurice Exner from @Hologic, Luk Vandenberghe from @Harvard, Patrick Boyle from @Ginkgo, and Maike Scharp from @BCG, talking about accelerated refocusing and repurposing in times of COVID. #mitshbc
Had a great time speaking at #MITSHBC today about the role of #AI in drug discovery, medicine, & why our brains won’t (yet) be getting replaced with computers. Thanks to @MIT for having me!
A huge thank you to Bill Sibold and Gigi Hirsch for a thought-provoking discussion! Up next we have 2 panels: Accelerated Refocusing and Repurposing in Times of COVID and Innovation in Scale-Up and Supply Chains. #mitshbc#healthcare#mitsloan#isfasterbetter
Patients first. That was the message when Bill Sibold sat down with Dr. Gigi Hirsch today at @MITBioinnov to discuss how to improve patient access to groundbreaking therapies. #mitshbc#isfasterbetter
