About this Event
The first Life Science Venture Program education session of the year, sponsored by Epstein Becker Green and led by Earl Conrad Hanna and Courtney Morris, will focus on the insurance fundamentals every life science and biotech startup should understand as they move from research to commercialization. From early lab work and clinical activities to hiring employees and engaging partners, the right insurance coverage plays a critical role in managing risk and protecting your venture. Designed for entrepreneurs, industry professionals, graduate students, Ph.D. candidates, and post-doctoral researchers, this discussion will provide practical guidance on coverage needs at different stages, common gaps to avoid, and how insurance fits into building a resilient, investment-ready company.
