Launched in 2019 by Deerfield, the Women in Science Translational Research Symposia were created to clarify the process and route to commercialization for women scientists and in turn, help prepare them to advance their discoveries to market. The program is committed to promoting diversity of perspectives in innovation and changing this paradigm through knowledge and network creation.
In 2022, the Women in Science Translational Research Symposia formally embedded within Advancium Health Network, an independent non-profit organization launched by Deerfield Management and the Deerfield Foundation and continues to be supported by all three organizations.
