ABOUT ROAD TO BIO TEAM

Nigel, Wei, Brian, Steve, Albert, Govindra, and Eugene embarked (some more willingly than others) on a 12-day road trip to drive cross country while visiting sights and meeting with big pharma companies, with the ultimate goal of making it to BIO. They each came on for different reasons, but they all ended with one big takeaway: we may be motivated by different forces – within and outside of ourselves – but at the end of the day we go on the journey together, and that’s what bonds us all.
