Emerging companies find it increasingly difficult to reach the right person when seeking funding. It is equally difficult for funders to wade through countless proposals. The "Meet with" Series provides emerging life science companies with greater access to partnering and/or financing opportunities. The BioCenter Meet with Series has featured, Merck, Genentech, NCI, Takeda Research Investment, the Michael J. Fox Foundation, Physic Ventures, Amgen and now Gilead!

In this session, Directors from Gilead will talk to potential licensees to first explain what they are looking for in a company. After the presentation, attendees will have lunch with the Gilead team. Finally, each pre-approved attendee* will be granted a private meeting with Shehnaaz Suliman, M.D. - Senior Director of Corporate Development at Gilead Sciences - or Sean OConnell - the Senior Director of Business Development at Gilead Sciences.
