The feedback from members speaks for itself…

Anja Giese, VP Medicinal Chemistry, Bayer

“Success stories get presented at conferences but comparing notes and experiences around what didn’t work and getting ideas & input around specific questions is where the real value lies. This network offers a rare and vital chance for us to get exactly that insight”

Zhihua Sui, Chief Scientific Officer, Proteovant

“This network is worthwhile because it facilitates community connection and scientific exchange to find answers to the toughest questions together – benefiting our community and our patients.”

Amine Sadok, Director of Head Platform Biology, Monte Rosa

“Usually, we hear about the 1% of things that worked, this network presents the golden opportunity to hear about the 99% of things that didn’t.”
