Flagship leaders, Flagship-founded companies mark “Biotech’s Moment” throughout weeklong virtual gathering

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., January 11, 2020 -- Flagship Pioneering, a life science platforms company, today announced its participation in the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference 2021. A number of Flagship companies will present or announce new scientific advancements, research programs, partnerships and fundraising rounds throughout the week.

Flagship Pioneering will also host a conversation between Founder and CEO Noubar Afeyan and CNBC’s Senior Health and Science Reporter Meg Tirrell on Tuesday, January 12th at 3pm ET. The conversation will cover the latest news about Moderna’s mRNA-1273 vaccine and its deployment, Flagship’s increasing focus on Health Security and pre-emptive therapeutics, and why and how this is “biotech’s moment.” They will also take audience questions.

“Once defined by endless experimentation and expensive, lengthy and low probability-of-success drug development processes, biotechnology is now at the leading edge of technological progress, fusing rapidly advancing molecular science with a more deterministic path to products and impact,” said Noubar Afeyan, Ph.D., founder and CEO of Flagship Pioneering.
