About the event
Max is co-founder and board member of FAR Biotech, a company using "QuantumAI" — quantum mechanical modeling paired with deep learning — to find drug candidates that conventional drug discovery methods overlook. Max isn't the scientist. He's the Fortune 500 commercial strategy and M&A veteran who partnered with a research scientist to turn deep, complicated science into a real company.
FAR Biotech also just relocated to Madison this year, choosing Wisconsin's research and biohealth community over other options. If you've ever wondered what actually goes into a company's decision about where to grow, this is your chance to ask someone who just made that call.
Join us for Lunch with a Founder to hear more from Max.
