PHILLY BUILDS BIO +

Philly Builds Bio+: Inaugural Symposium for Life Science Innovation and Development was designed to bring the life science and real estate communities together around the key drivers of the life science industry in Philadelphia (its opportunity and potential), and the opportunities and challenges of life science real estate development in the region.

The Symposium concluded with the introduction of a new membership and programming initiative, called Philly Builds Bio+ led by Nancy J Kelley and Mitch Simpler, Founding Members of Builds Bio+ and other leading members of the Philly life science and real estate development community, who have served on the Steering Committee for the Symposium. Profits from the meeting will be used to support the creation and operation of a Philly Builds Bio+ Initiative.
