Dr. Soumit Roy, Vice President of JonesTrading said: “Making sense of Biotechnology is increasingly mandated by clients. The dynamics and structure of the sector, as well as the strategies and financials of the established and emerging companies, find institutional investors asking for intelligent insight.
