Facilitating a culture of collaboration in biopharma

We all understand the concept that collaborating with our fellow scientists, and across departments, produces higher quality work and expedites discovery. Yet sometimes collaboration is easier said than done, and we still return to our silos to plug away independently, unaware of how those around us can help. Join us at the June Lab of the Future meetup at Mass Innovation Labs (http://www.massinnovationlabs.com/welcome-mass-innovation-labs) as we explore this topic in depth. As always, an abundance of pizza and networking will be on the menu!
