O4U Expands Conference Portfolio into Life Sciences

Logan Troppito, Chair O4U Life Sciences Advisory Board

Volunteer O4U Advisory Board led by Logan Troppito, Senior Manager, Life Sciences Supply Chain at Accenture, to prototype new O4U Life Sciences conference.

Market expectations warn that a gap will grow between the increasing number of opportunities in life sciences and the number of people with the right skills to fill them.”
— Dr. Cindi Love, O4U Executive Director
NEW YORK, NEW YORK, USA, December 7, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Out for Undergrad (O4U) announces expansion of its portfolio of four leadership, personal and professional development experiences for LGBTQ2+ undergraduates. The O4U Board has authorized exploration and test of a new conference in life sciences by a cross-industry volunteer Advisory Board led by Logan Troppito, Senior Manager, Life Sciences Supply Chain at Accenture. The Board will take the new product idea through the market research, feasibility and prototype phases and support another senior volunteer team in testing it before launching it into the market, tentatively scheduled for 2024.

Dr. Cindi Love, O4U Executive Director said, “With Logan’s leadership, our volunteer Board advisors will help us best leverage the growth, disruption and innovation in every Life Sciences sector catalyzed by the pandemic, aging population and more. We are so grateful for Logan’s willingness to lead this Board, bringing such extensive and diverse experience in global market drug distribution regulations, anti-counterfeiting & anti-theft, design thinking, pharma regulatory change management, design & efficiency assessment. Logan’s academic background in BioEngineering reflects the possibilities for students in life sciences, spanning pharmaceutical, medical devices, and biotechnology, engineering entrepreneurship, drug discovery & vaccine/ oncology. We deeply appreciate and respect Logan’s long term commitment to our LGBTQ2+ STEM students. Each member of the Advisory Board brings proven talent, intellect, unique insights and concern for our students. We will all be enriched by their contributions. Market expectations warn that a gap will grow between the increasing number of opportunities in life sciences and the number of people with the right skills to fill them. O4U plans to translate this gap into opportunities for students in life sciences majors as well as our students in business, tech, marketing and engineering.”

The life sciences industry has been on the rise over the past half-decade thanks to a surge in new products and technology, as well as an influx of capital from both public and private investors. In the past three years more than $70 billion of private equity capital and public National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding has poured into life sciences-related companies in North America. https://www.adgmultifamily.com/uncategorized/70b-poured-into-life-sciences-companies-last-year-but-capital-and-real-estate-investment-will-likely-remain-in-key-hubs/
