Biotechnology

Biotechnological advances over the last century have enabled exponential progress in the life sciences (LS) industry. Last year marked the 50th anniversary of the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA, and this year the groundbreaking CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing therapeutics are entering clinical trials for patients with genetic disorders. From personalised medicine to digitalisation and AI, progress in the life sciences industry is happening almost at lightning speed. These rapid changes have put pressure on senior management and boards to consider whether they have the right strategy and the right talent and skills in the C-suite.
