AMRI to Participate in Panel Discussion at BIO International Convention

ALBANY, N.Y., May 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- AMRI's Michele Luche, vice president,  Discovery Services, will be participating in a panel discussion on bridging the gap between early promise and clinic-ready compounds at the 2018 BIO International Convention, June 4-7 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center in Boston.

The interactive panel will discuss considerations would-be entrepreneurs need to convince investors and potential partners that they have de-risked their programs as much as possible and share case studies of successes and failures. The session titled, "What Drug Hunters Look for in Early Stage Assets," will include experienced entrepreneurs, pharma developers and service providers.

"Early assets offer significant promise for targeting new avenues to treat disease in ways that have yet to be tapped by established companies; however, a molecule that hits a target may still carry significant discovery and development risks," said Michele Luche. "The experienced panelists will bring a range of perspectives on this important topic."

Date/Time: June 4, 2018, 1:00 PM – 2:15 PM ET
