Dr. Alice Huxley, CEO of Speedel discusses what it takes to launch a successful company.  Some companies launch in a garage, while others are launched in an attic.  And that was just the beginning!  Today Speedel is a Swiss biopharmaceutical company that recently received the Wall Street Journal's Gold Award for Technology Innovation for their work on Aliskiren, the first renin inhibitor for treating hypertension.  Dr. Huxley, who will also be presenting at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference during her visit to the Bay Area, will speak about the need for commitment to research and innovation and the importance of developing new drugs rather than "me-too" products. 

Appetizers and refreshments will be served by the Chamber. An optional no host dinner follows at a local restaurant.
