We recorded Episode 2 on May 2 2021, with Derek Brand, the Chief Operating Officer of New York Bio, as the lead voice.  

He brought along Orin Herskovitz, the Executive Director of Columbia Technology Ventures, and Bunny Ellerin, the co-Founder & CEO of NYC Health Business Leaders to give a bigger picture.   You’ll also hear from Dave Whelan now at Bioscience LA, Nancy Kelley from Alexandria Real Estate, Maria Gotsch at the Partnership Fund for NYC, Scott Cohen, the Founder of New Lab, and many others.

We were struck by three major themes -- the importance of a physical biotech hub, what it takes to build community and how a thorough study of the ecosystem drove high-level attention and funding.

Listen in.
