Disruption, Talent and the Global Biotech Ecosystem

Biological science is moving at an incredible pace. Only 100 years ago, Eli Metchnikoff set the direction of modern medicine by taking a simple tree thorn and applying it to a starfish. From this, he discovered phagocytosis, a central process in all diseases. Metchnikoff was ‘disruptive’ in his technology and thinking.

Tony Sedgwick is a fifth-generation student of Metchnikoff and will discuss our recent advancement in disruption, looking at the evolution of Biotech and global ecosystems and how it translates into people. The aim of the workshop is to describe how disruptive talent is at the heart of biotech.
