Kate Sheridan, General Assignment Reporter, STAT |
I cover biotech startups and the venture capital firms that back them for STAT, a dedicated biopharma publication owned by Boston Globe Media Partners. Billions of dollars flow each year through VCs to biopharma startups — especially to those in Boston. Where that money comes from and where it goes matters both to current investors and to future patients. I'm always looking for people who can help me better understand how biotech companies are built, how impactful science is done, and how tough decisions are made. |
