After thorough examination, the results are in: Philadelphia’s health and life sciences scene is doing better than ever.
This was the consensus of a group of key industry leaders during a Philly Tech Week 2016 presented by Comcast panel discussion in the Center City offices of the Public Health Management Corporation.
Conveners, startups and major stakeholders sat on the panel, which included Claire Marrazzo Greenwood of the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce; Patrick FitzGerald, VP of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia; Laurie Actman, Chief Operating Officer of Penn’s Pennovation arm; Neil Gomes of the Jefferson health network; Max Perelman, cofounder of diagnostics startup Biomeme; and Anthony Green, VP of commercialization at the state-backed Ben Franklin Technology Partners.
