Meet with... Merck & Co. September 24, 2009

Meet with... Merck & Co.
Thursday, September 24, 2009 | 9:00AM-4:00PM

Emerging companies find it increasingly difficult to reach the right person when seeking funding and/or partners. Through the "Meet with..." Series, we provide emerging companies with greater access to partnering and/or financing opportunities.

In this session, Licensing Directors from Merck will talk to potential licensees to first explain what they are looking for in a company.

After the presentation, each attendee will be granted a private meeting with Dr. James Schaeffer - the Executive Director of Licensing & External Research for Merck Research Laboratories at Merck & Co., Inc. - or Dr. Yael Weiss - the Director of Licensing & External Research for Merck Research Laboratories at Merck & Co., Inc.
