Fundamentals for Startups: Biotech Startups

The startup sessions will have a topic and an area expert providing key insights and knowledge regarding the topic in a 20-30 minute seminar format. After the seminar, the attendees will break into working sessions to engage with the topic as it relates to them. Afterwards, we will have an Entrepreneurial Law Clinic student presentation on a legal matter pertinent to startups.

On this date, Patrick Gray will speak about ‘Biotech Startups’ and the UW Entrepreneurial Law Clinic will present on ‘Consultants vs Employees’.

Patrick’s career has focused on drug discovery for critical diseases. He is passionate about working in small companies with aggressive timelines—Genentech, ICOS, and Macrogenics were each less than 60 employees when he started. He has participated in the discovery and development of numerous therapeutics, including the Hepatitis B vaccine, Interferon-alpha, Interferon-gamma, and the PI3 Kinase inhibitor.
