Dr Julie Barnes has extensive commercial and scientific experience in the life sciences sector and early stage businesses making her a great female role model. In this interview for the Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning, she talks about how the sector has changed enormously over the last 25 years leading to the emergence of medicines for preventative healthcare.
The next phase of change is going to be about individual choice and managing health, rather than managing disease. At present, we are treating the tip of the iceberg with a focus on the last 10% of disease that shows itself in patients. The future focus will be on changing healthcare through understanding more about disease at a molecular level and through early detection. Julie is a strong advocate for partnership between academia and industry to harness value from scientific innovation and ensure translation for the benefit of patient health.
Julie is a guest speaker at our upcoming conference, ‘Beating the odds: growing biobusinesses today’ on 3 October 2013 at Clare College, Cambridge, UK. She is contributing her extensive experience of the Life Sciences sector and as an entrepreneur to a panel discussion on building companies in new markets.
‘Beating the odds: growing biobusinesses today’ is open to all bio entrepreneurs, industry experts, academics and students wishing to participate in meaningful discussions and network with those who want to be part of the next wave of bio innovation. Places are limited so we advise early booking to secure your place.
