Refresh #7 in Brussels - Building Multi-Billion Euro Biotechs 🚀

Waffles, chocolate, beer... Belgium does things right. Including having an awesome biotech scene! We are inviting you to join us and the rest of the Belgium biotech gang for a relaxed biotech meetup in Brussels on the 22nd May 2018. This time it's an afternoon event so you can be home for dinner. Get ready to meet some great people, listen to some awesome speakers, and enjoy some free beer. You will be able to find us at the Sanofi Belgium office looking super cool in our Labiotech t-shirts.

Thanks to EuropaBio for being such a cool partner and both NIBC and Scientist.com for supporting us 😉

Who will be speaking?

1. Edwin Moses - CEO, Ablynx

Want to know what it's like to be the CEO of a company in the European billion-euro biotech club? Ask Edwin! He has been with Ablynx, a biopharma developing Nanobodies, since 2004 and the CEO since 2006. Before this, he had a successful commercial career at Amersham International, Enzymatix, and Raggio-Italgene. I would be here all day listing all the Board memberships Edwin has held, there's a lot.

2. Christian Homsy - CEO, Celyad

Celyad had some big news recently with their CAR-T treatment working for the first time ever on acute myeloid leukemia! It must feel pretty good to be the CEO/ co-founder of one of the leading CAR-T company worldwide, which has the potential of becoming a billion-euro biotech. Before all this, Christian has held some cool positions at Guidant Corporation and even founded the Guidant Institute for Therapy Development.

4pm – 4:30pm: 1st Fireside Chat - Edwin Moses
