SUMMARY:From Discovery to Market: The Role of IP Strategy in Drug Development\, sponsored by Gowling WLG
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]On Wednesday\, October 20\, 2021\, Life Sciences BC held a webinar discussing the key IP opportunities and strategies related to drug development in Canada. Drug development in Canada is a long and complex process\, and the market is competitive. At the heart of drug development is intellectual property (IP). Life sciences companies who develop an IP strategy at the outset of a new project have a competitive advantage by creating value\, generating revenue\, and obtaining market intelligence. Without a strategy\, companies risk losing IP assets\, missing out on investment opportunities\, and being exposed to competition. \nA panel of industry professionals addressed topics such as identifying intellectual property during R&D\, the importance of freedom to operate analysis\, international filing strategies and portfolio management\, and of course\, the unique industry challenges brought to light due to the COVID-19 pandemic. \nThank you to our sponsor:\n \n  \n  \n  \n  \nSpeakers:  \n\nBrian Kingwell\, Partner\, Gowling WLG\nIsabelle Riedl\, Senior Supervisor\, Intellectual Property\, Medicago\nSonia Ziesche\, Principal\, Patent Agent\, Gowling WLG\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/ZRTHvL0mirM” title=”View the Event Recording:”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Blakes Breakfast Speaking Series
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]On Thursday\, October 7\, 2021\, Life Sciences BC held a webinar on radiopharmaceuticals\, a new class of drugs that is emerging to expand the spectrum of treatments for cancer. These drugs deliver radiation directly and specifically to cancer cells. and they contain radioactive isotopes and can be used as both diagnostic and therapeutic agents. \nTargeting radiation therapy at the cellular level has the potential to reduce the risk of both short-term and long-term side effects of treatment\, while proving effective at killing even the small clusters of cancer cells throughout the body. \nReduced side effects and precision delivery are driving the interest and high growth in this new generation of radiopharmaceuticals. A number of new therapies are emerging\, including using lutetium-177 to treat prostate and neuroendocrine cancers. The global market for radiopharmaceuticals was estimated at $6.1 billion in 2019\, and is projected to reach $12.6 billion by 2027. \n \nThe Blakes Breakfast Speaking Series is our longest-standing event series and one of our most popular. These breakfasts include presentations by local\, national\, and multinational life science companies and typically attract a cross-section of approximately 75 of our life sciences community members. The Breakfast Speaking Series is proudly presented by Blake\, Cassels & Graydon LLP. \n  \nSpeakers:\n\nNoël Brown\, Managing Director & Head of U.S. Biotechnology Investment Banking\, RBC Capital Markets\nKathryn Hayashi\, President & CEO\, TRIUMF Innovations\nDr. Lana Janes\, Venture Partner at adMare BioInnovations\, Interim CEO at Abdera Therapeutics\nCody Shirriff\, CEO & Founder\, Serenity Bioworks\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/hHQRYb1Cyfs” title=”View the Event Recording:”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
