Disclaimer: “The purpose of our gathering and discussions is to start a pre-competitive R&D collaboration and discuss best practices using NGS-based biosafety to identify adventitious agents during biopharma R&D. We consider our discussions to be pre-competitive in nature as the best practices can be used very broadly in the industry. Please keep the conversation to this topic and refrain from bringing up topics that could be considered anti-competitive under antitrust/competition laws, such as pricing.”
