LeadingBiotech’s CEO event series are designed to bring together biopharma leaders to build partnerships and speak candidly “off-the-record” on the most important topics, trends and challenges our industry is facing. During CEO North you will learn about biopharma hot spots in the Chicagoland area from industry game changers like Polsky’s very own Jay Schrankler.
