Strategic Connector
Watch Stacy Shuker Reece, Ph.D., President, Down South Innovation in Atlanta, share how she uses her scientific knowledge to support business development in the biotech industry. As a strategic connector, she helps scientists in academia work with investors to develop drugs and devices and get them in the marketplace to treat patients.
