The strategic management of IP assets can significantly influence the outcome and valuation of the deal. It can also have a lasting effect on the future innovation trajectory of the combined company. In this session\, Lisa Thorne will provide a high level understanding of the complex IP issues companies may face and will also share how to mitigate risks through a systematic approach and due diligence. \nPart II – Taking your life sciences company public \nAs part of a growth strategy\, many companies – including life sciences\, biotech and pharmaceutical – often seek to raise capital through IPOs. In addition to raising capital\, an IPO can give a life sciences company a higher profile and potential access to new and widespread investors. Join us as Tara Amiri (Gowling WLG) shares her insights on methods for taking a life sciences company public. \n  \n Confirmed Speakers: \n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=””]Agenda: \n\n8:00 a.m. – 8:30 a.m.: Guest arrival and breakfast\n8:30 a.m. – 9:15 a.m.: Presentation\n9:15 a.m. – 9:25 a.m.: Q&A\n9:25 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.: Networking and event close\n\nTickets: \n\nLSBC Members: Complimentary\nLSBC Non-members: $39\nStudents: Complimentary\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]\nThank you to our event partner:\n \n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=””]\nFor more information please contact: \nAlysia Golka\, Events Manager \nagolka@lifesciencesbc.ca \n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][mvc_advanced_button align=”center” btn_animation=”button–ujarak” btn_text=”SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTERS!” btn_block=”btn_block” transform=”normal” text_style=”normal” text_decoration=”none” use_theme_fonts=”yes” btn_url=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fvisitor.r20.constantcontact.com%2Fd.jsp%3Fllr%3Do4bvpguab%26p%3Doi%26m%3Do4bvpguab%26sit%3Dg8f7rqwjb%26f%3Da131d34c-109e-4684-9170-3367f73b0f3d” btn_clr=”#FFFFFF” btn_bg=”#0F5490″ btn_hvrclr=”#FFFFFF” btn_hvrbg=”#1E73BE”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://lifesciencesbc.ca/event/preparing-for-growth-ip-considerations-and-methods-of-going-public/ LOCATION:The Vancouver Club\, 915 W Hastings Street\, Vancouver\, BC\, V6C 1C6\, Canada CATEGORIES:2025 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://lifesciencesbc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/4-7.png ORGANIZER;CN="Life Sciences BC":MAILTO:events@lifesciencesbc.ca END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20250124T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20250124T160000 DTSTAMP:20260404T112556 CREATED:20241125T191046Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250227T224337Z UID:49651-1737709200-1737734400@lifesciencesbc.ca SUMMARY:Life Sciences BC's 6th Annual Career Connect Day 2025 DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Attention life sciences employers\, post-secondary students\, and job seekers! \nWe are pleased to announce our sixth annual Career Connect Day.

Biopharma’s inspiration for the development of targeted biologics was our own human immune system\, so we began with an in-depth explanation of immunology. The course then focused on the science\, challenges\, and medical promise of next generation targeted biologics. BioBasics 201 was designed for the non-scientist who had taken BioBasics 101 or for those who understood the basics of DNA\, RNA\, proteins\, and cell signaling. Taught by industry experts who explained how these complex drugs work in a simple\, engaging manner. \nFive Takeaways: \n1. Understood the mechanisms used by the human body to protect itself against disease. \n2. Fluency in vaccine platforms\, how each protected against disease including Covid-19. \n3. Rational of therapeutic antibody mechanisms of action\, including monoclonal antibodies\, antibody-drug conjugates\, bispecific antibodies\, checkpoint inhibitors. \n4. Compared and contrasted types of DNA- and RNA-based therapies and how each cured disease. \n5.
