We welcome AReNA – Québec’s RNA Hub – to Boston! It’s time again to spark new connections and build relationships across New England’s vibrant innovation community! This event, co-sponsored by AReNA, is a casual mixer designed to bring together RNA leaders from the Boston/Cambridge ecosystem and companies from Québec’s growing life sciences sector.
Our evening will include networking and a brief panel highlighting the impact of non-dilutive funding on Québec’s RNA Innovation ecosystem and how these investments create lasting value for the broader innovation community. Panelists will include:
• David Ferland-McCollough, Innovation Advisor-AReNA, CQDM
• Dr. Michael Zimmer, Co-founder and CSO, RNA4RARE Therapeutics
• François-Thomas Michaud, CEO, Feldan Therapeutics
Thank you to our co-sponsor, the Consulate General of Canada in Boston, and to our CENE life sciences corporate sponsors Merck and Ipsen for supporting our mission to connect and empower entrepreneurs.
