In March 2023, we hosted an event at Villanova University with consecutive academic and industry poster sessions followed by casual networking. The event featured over 40 people, consisting of Ph.D. students, postdocs, and industry professionals, most of which brought posters that sparked exciting conversations about research on the frontier of biotechnology. The event featured representation from GSK, Merck, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Century Biotech Partners, Inc., Avantor, Drexel University, Lehigh University, University of Pennsylvania, Princeton University, University of Delaware, and Villanova University.
