How Chiesi partners with early-stage science, and how to get on their radar
Reserve your seat
On 20 May, Open Innovation leads from Chiesi will share how a top-pharma company scouts, evaluates and partners on early-stage research, walking us through the different ways work can be considered for partnering.
Rare disease leads from Chiesi will also present their latest call (seeking in utero therapeutic approaches for rare diseases), which launched ahead of the session, creating a forum for discussion with interested prospective partners.
The team at Chiesi will show you what a good submission looks like, how opportunities move from first contact through to signed agreement, and where you can plug into their partnering ecosystem: submitting to their always-on open call, responding to active search campaigns, or joining their close network of contacts through Inpart.
