From astrophysicist to biopharma industry leader

In this episode of Molecule to Market, you’ll go inside the outsourcing space of the global drug development sector with Ben Locwin, Chief Scientist, Head of Clinical Services and Project Sciences at Black Diamond Networks (BDN). Your host, Raman Sehgal, discusses the pharmaceutical and biotechnology supply chain with Ben, covering: Being part of the Lonza growth story in its 'scrappy' years Learning never to say no to a good opportunity and how that's opened many doors Becoming part of the more significant patient conversations at Biogen Dropping in seal teams to help companies do what they may never have achieved Why is change always inevitable in our sector, and what may the future hold for us all? As the saying goes, we're all a product of our growth and past experiences. Ben Locwin is an industry and healthcare executive who has been variously described as a "Remarkably talented speaker" by the Association for Talent Development, a "Rockstar epidemiologist" by NPR, a "healthcare futurist" by Contract Pharma and Rodman Media, and "a good friend" by ...his friends. He began his journey as an astrophysicist 30 years ago and then transitioned into the world of biotech in the 1990s when the nascent industry was yet poised to take over the world. He has specialized training as a neuroscientist and has worked with some of the top companies in the industry, both as a leader and a consultant. He has been a member of several Boards, association committees, steering teams, Task Forces, and scientific advisory panels.
