SUMMARY:Life Sciences & Sustainability: Exploring Opportunities with Alexandria Real Estate
DESCRIPTION:Scientific research is one of the greatest drivers of the Boston economy – and\, one of the greatest drivers of greenhouse gas emissions. How will laboratory buildings achieve net zero emissions without putting the squeeze on this critical economic engine? Alexandria Real Estate is often considered to be the gold standard for life science development. They are also setting the gold standard for ultra-low emissions laboratory buildings. How are they achieving this impressive goal? \nJoin the BSA\, Rick Malmstrom of Alexandria Real Estate and Jacob Knowles of BR+A for a Client Conversations exploration of their integrated design work that will achieve this goal\, focusing on the under construction\, 500\,000 GSF core-shell lab in Kendall Square that will approach fossil fuel free for space heating.

SUMMARY:Neurology Clinical Trials Are Failing. How Can We Fix Them?
DESCRIPTION:One billion people worldwide suffer from neurological related disorders with limited therapy options. Over 2000 neurological clinical trials start each year in the US alone. Yet\, it is estimated that only 5.9% of Phase I neurology drugs are likely to get FDA approval. \nResearch innovation such as new biomarkers or advanced algorithms often do not get translated into clinical practice\, slowing progress. Adding to that\, the scale\, inefficiency and subjectivity of neurological clinical trials makes them inherently difficult. Neuroimaging analysis is key to developing new therapies for brain disease but it’s difficult to do. \nJoin us for a discussion and audience Q&A hosted by QMENTA CEO\, Vesna Prčkovska. Hear from our esteemed panel of experts who work across the life sciences research\, development and care spectrum how clinical research leaders can take key steps now to transform the way they conduct neuroimaging based clinical trials to position them for success. Seats are limited so register now.
