Summer 2009
Inside the Summer 2009 Issue:
Good News for a Bad Economy
For David Weber, President and CEO of Union City-based pharmaceutical firm MacuSight, it’s all about financing through key milestones and “planning well enough ahead.” It’s one reason why Weber’s firm recently secured a R&D and licensing agreement with a large Japanese pharmaceutical firm that gave MacuSight $50 million upfront in funding. Read how other Alliance members have found ways to move forward in an otherwise dismal U.S. economy.
Alliance Community Activities
Recent Alliance CEO Roundtables gave CEOs the opportunity to learn about life science partnerships and “Building High Functioning Executive Teams.” Judy Estrin, author of “Closing the Innovation Gap,” discussed ways to overcome our country’s innovation deficit, while Siebel Systems founder Tom Siebel spoke about future business growth opportunities. Check out the photos of these events and our Alliance Progressive Dinner.
