Moderna, the Vaccine, and the Business Gamble that Changed the World
Wednesday, February 15
Peter Loftus, a reporter for The Wall Street Journal covering the pharmaceutical industry, tells the story of Moderna, the biotechnology startup with big ambitions to pioneer a brand new way of making medicines. When the pandemic hit, Moderna seized the moment to embark on one of the most consequential quests in medical history, delivering an effective Covid-19 vaccine within the year — and transforming the company into a household name and industry leader.
In this compelling webinar, Peter Loftus will discuss the people behind the messenger RNA scientific research and Moderna's inception, the company's growth and setbacks over a decade, its high-stakes response to the pandemic in 2020 and what lies ahead for the company and mRNA technology.
