23 ANNUAL LIFE SCIENCES BC AWARDS rd
Building on excellence – a bold, bright future
Life Sciences BC is pleased to announce the recipients of the 23rd Annual Life Sciences BC Awards, presented by Farris. These awards are presented annually in recognition of the significant achievements of talented individuals and organizations that embody the life sciences community of British Columbia. Our award winners exemplify the full spectrum, from discovery to commercialization, and underscore the full breadth and depth of knowledge that impacts the B.C. bio-economy. B.C. life sciences innovation has been globally recognized for addressing the unique challenges that arose as a result of the pandemic; we saw B.C. take a leadership role in the development of vaccines, therapeutics, medical devices and diagnostics, and digital health solutions. While many B.C. companies and individuals have contributed greatly, Life Sciences BC would like to recognize the extraordinary efforts made within our sector with two special Impact Awards for 2020 that celebrate leadership.
