At the 2017 Life Sciences PA Annual Dinner, we gathered as a community to celebrate the successes of the prior year and to honor visionary life science trailblazers of the past whose legacies guide our scientific and business efforts.
On June 7, 2017, at the Innovation Works in Pittsburgh, we will have a reception honoring the Scientific Achievement Award Winner, Julius Youngner.
The Scientific Achievement Award recognizes a scientist in the Pennsylvania life sciences community who has demonstrated outstanding achievement by advancing scientific knowledge, innovation, and/or patient care. The honoree is chosen by a selection committee from the academic research community.
