AWARDS PRESENTATION

Endpoints' own Amber Tong and Nicole DeFeudis present this special selection of 2020’s top women leaders in biopharma R&D.

Endpoints News was built on one vision: The biopharma world is here. And we believe it should be here for everyone.

Like many industries, biopharma grapples with equal growth and leadership opportunities for women, yet female leadership roles remain elusive. Organizations have launched laudable efforts to address this multifaceted problem and we are pleased to have the opportunity to recognize the women in the industry who are blazing a new trail for those who will follow.

We’re excited to introduce this year’s Women in Biopharma, and for the first time ever we’re bringing the celebration to a live audience.

Live event hosted by:

Amber Tong - Editor, Endpoints News

Nicole DeFeudis - Associate Editor, Endpoints News

Balancing Act: How Women in Biopharma are Managing Home & Work During the Pandemic

The events of 2020 have blurred the boundaries between work and home, intensifying existing hurdles for working women. Dealing with financial stress, working longer hours, caring for children or other family members - all in a world with limited access to entertainment, exercise, and socialization. As a result, a recent McKinsey study showed that 1 in 4 women were considering downshifting their careers or leaving the workforce altogether.

How can women continue to thrive in their careers while also ensuring their home and family responsibilities stay a priority? Join this women-centric roundtable as experts across the biopharma industry share their experiences during the pandemic and what they’re doing to balance expectations while also combatting burnout.
