The Collision Between Biotech And Tech – How To Navigate The Overlapping Legal Issues In This New And Emerging Landscape

Partner Kyle Faget, Co-Chair of Foley’s Health Care Practice Group will be speaking on the panel “The Collision Between Biotech And Tech – How To Navigate The Overlapping Legal Issues In This New And Emerging Landscape” of the New England Corporate Counsel Association.

Attendees will join an interactive conversation about the colliding worlds of biotechnology and technology. Kyle will join a panel of seasoned firm and in-house biotechnology attorneys that will discuss the biggest trends in the industry that are causing this collision, including:

• Wearable technology;
• Drones;
• Remote clinical trials; and
• Health hubs.

Attendees will learn about the risks and regulatory considerations associated with each emerging trend; the competing technology and biotechnology perspectives and goals that arise; and the divide that occurs as a result. Through shared experiences, our panelists will consider the question: how do we build a bridge to allow these worlds to coexist?

Finally, attendees will gain insight into how biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies must shift to adapt to the needs of this new landscape, as well as what opportunities are created.
