SUMMARY:From the Laboratory to Leadership - San Francisco
DESCRIPTION:It’s both an incredibly exciting and challenging time for the life science industry. Some companies are enjoying tailwinds as the result of great clinical data\, their proximity to product approval\, or they find themselves in a hot therapeutic space. Others\, may be more challenged\, as access to capital remains difficult\, putting their progress through the clinic in jeopardy\, or they may be trying to accelerate performance with fewer\, yet\, highly critical people. \nWhether you are scaling your organization for growth or right-sizing your company and upskilling your talent\, people are at the heart of everything you do. They are the innovators\, the motivators\, the problem solvers and your source of inspiration. At their best\, together\, they accelerate the pace at which you bring outstanding\, life-changing solutions to the patients who need them. \nHighly talented\, skilled and aligned leadership has never been more critical. We can help. \nOver 35 years of experience in organizational development is reflected in our From the Laboratory To Leadership program. By leveraging our extensive industry-specific knowledge combined with the most progressive and engaging professional development methods available\, we have successfully transformed over 7500 science-minded\, first-time managers\, into highly capable and confident business leaders. (do we want to say highly capable and confident leaders of people?). \nFrom the Laboratory to Leadership begins by helping participants assess who they are as leaders – their strengths\, styles\, and personal brand. From there\, we develop skills in the areas of communication\, priority management\, meeting management\, goal setting and planning\, delegation\, performance management\, and leading teams in a dynamic workplace. We wrap up the program in a fashion that brings all the learning together in a fun and impactful way. To drive high levels of engagement and impact\, this program integrates learning pods\, encourages participants to use their companies as learning labs\, and helps clients set goals that deliver measurable results. \n\nThis in-person workshop takes place in San Francisco on April 8\, April 22\, May 6\, and May 20 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. PT. \n\nREGISTER» \nHosted by:

Bringing deep biotech expertise to the discussion are Dr. Ali R. Alemozafar and Dr. Lisa Silverman\, both seasoned biotech patent attorneys\, joined by experienced biotech patent agent\, Shirley Recipon\, M.S. R.P.A. Their insights will help you navigate the complexities of IP\, avoid common mistakes\, and help position your innovations for long-term success. \nThe discussion will cover: \n\nThe Starting Point – Tips and Resources for Formulating a strong I.P. strategy\nWhen\, Why and How to file a patent and special considerations for Biotechnology\nShow me the money: What are investors looking for and how can you discuss your business without compromising trade secrets\nTrademarks/Copyrights/Patents- what you should know\n\nThroughout each step we will look at Pitfalls\, Challenges\, Risk Mitigation along with successful habits and new tools to move you along in the process. \n  \nThe panel will be followed by lunch and a formal presentation delivered by the United States Patent Office. \nUSPTO representative\, Mary Fuller\, JD\, will provide an overview of patent basics. Drawing from her extensive experience in Silicon Valley\, where she has worked at top law firms\, served as general counsel for multiple startups\, and her current role as the Regional Director of the USPTO’s Western Regional Office\, she is well-equipped to discuss the common challenges and roadblocks that startups face. She will also share best practices for leveraging intellectual property\, from trademarks to patents\, to strengthen and grow their pipelines. Additionally\, she will offer actionable insights on simple steps that can be easily implemented but are often overlooked. \nThis program will offer valuable perspectives into the IP landscape while providing a unique opportunity for the audience to engage with experts\, ask critical questions\, and gain practical knowledge. \n\n\n\nREGISTER» \nEvent Host
