Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, killing one person every 34 seconds in the US alone. In 2009, the estimated cost of cardiovascular disease in the United States was $475.3 billion according to the American Heart Association and the NHLBI. However, mortality rates have decreased due to improved prevention, diagnosis and treatment. This panel will discuss promising new areas of research and developing trends that are attracting funds.
The BayBioNEST Venture Spotlight Series is a unique forum that allows investors to speak directly to entrepreneurs in a reverse pitch format. Investors and experts have a platform to discuss their current interests, target markets, therapies and technologies, as well as the maturation level of investment targets. The Venture Spotlight Series is a breakfast panel discussion with time for Q&A and networking.
