Conference showcased the impact funds raised at the annual networking event over the past 10 years have had on helping Boston Childrens Hospital find answers about childhood disease
BOSTON --News Direct-- Boston Childrens Hospital
Last week Boston Childrens Hospital gathered together the brightest minds in the financial investment community for a full day of sharing insights, ideas and networking opportunities at its annual Boston Investment Conference. Since its launch in 2011, the Boston Investment Conference (BIC) has raised funds to help fuel the development of life-changing innovations for the worlds sickest children. Cumulatively the event has raised over $20 million since its founding to drive transformative research at Boston Childrens and strengthen scientific collaborations with the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard.
What an honor it was to have the opportunity to attend the 2021 Boston Investment Conference! As the BIC awardee, I am beyond grateful to the conference founders, organizers, speakers, and attendees for focusing attention on medical research that will impact so many children, in Boston and beyond, said Annapurna Poduri, MD, MPH - Director, Epilepsy Genetics Program at Boston Childrens Hospital and 2021 Boston Investment Conference Awardee leading pioneering research in infants with epilepsy. As a physician-scientist, I listened to speakers from careers very different from my own and was struck by common themes that resonate across disciplines. These include the value of innovation and creativity and an emphasis on diversity, all key to our progress as we strive not only to make discoveries but also to bring them to the very children who inspire our research.
The conference also featured in-depth discussions on a variety of topics with esteemed business and financial leaders including:
Ben Balbale of Dockyard Capital Management
Stephane Bancel of Moderna, Inc.
Mary Barra of General Motors
John Chambers of JC2 Ventures
Bihua Chen of Cormorant
Will Danoff of Fidelity
Stanley Druckenmiller of Duquesne Family Office LLC
David Fialkow of General Catalyst
Dave Furneaux of Virsec
David Gross-Loh of Bain Capital
Jean Hynes of Wellington Management
Seth Klarman of The Baupost Group
Jeff Lawson of Twilio
Evan Rachlin of Blackstone Life Sciences
David Rubenstein of The Carlyle Group
Corey Thomas of Rapid7
Boston Childrens Hospital has been quietly changing the future of health for children around the world since 1869. Named the number one hospital for care in the country, the hospital is also the largest research center for pediatric medicine anywhere. Each year the conference proceeds benefit a new research initiative at Boston Childrens Hospital, and help facilitate unique collaborations between Boston Childrens and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. The Broad Institute, founded in 2004, was created to fulfill the promise of genomic medicinethree years after completion of the Human Genome Project, which Broad scientists helped create and lead.
