Wilson Sonisni is proud to sponsor Pharmaceutical & BioScience Society International (PBSS). 

This full-day workshop will be taught by accomplished business development (BD) professionals with deep experience in both large pharma and small biotech companies, providing perspectives from both sides of the table for biopartnering. If you have ever wondered what BD is, how to work efficiently and effectively with your BD team to advance your company’s strategy and programs, or even how to become a BD professional yourself, this is a good workshop for you (and your colleagues in R&D, regulatory, legal, finance, and even executive positions) to attend. The workshop will include presentations, case studies, and group exercises, and conclude with a panel discussion. 

At 4:00 p.m., Technology Transactions partner Miranda Biven will present on the panel "Best Practices and Avoiding Pitfalls in Biotech Dealmaking."

Additional presentations will cover:

• BD fundamentals
• Search and evaluation
• Due diligence
• Transactions and negotiation strategy
• Alliance management
