Greed. Ruthlessness. Self-centredness. Traits associated with corporate leadership. But are those qualities the ones required to make you a good leader? Organisational psychologist Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic […]
One of the biggest personal challenges I’ve encountered starting this magazine, has been fighting an internal battle with the need for perfection. Perhaps I shouldn’t admit this, but…
As I sit down to write this – my second editor’s note for Biostart – I’m reminded that every venture must start somewhere. I think most people would agree that there’s nothing more terrifying than a blank screen. An empty notepad. A diary without any appointments. Anything new, be it this magazine or a biotech project begins…
Oxford is an inspiring place to live. Aside from the dreaming spires, famous alumni and culture of learning, it is home to an impressive number of biotech start-ups. Coupled with Cambridge and London, the number of start-ups in the area is booming.

Over the past decade of running conferences in biotechnology, we’ve seen first-hand the impact start-up companies have in the industry. We’ve noticed over the past few years that there’s a real gap in the market for good, quality advice for those moving from academia to industry, and so we are excited to be launching Biostart: the free, online magazine for CXOs looking to develop their biotech business.

We are looking for contributors in the following areas to share their experience and knowledge:
Company spotlights
Finance
Intellectual Property
Practical skills (such as selling and networking)
Case studies
Regulation
Investor perspectives
Personal development (how to lead a team, staff recruitment, etc).
If you would be interested in writing on one of these topics or have an idea for something different, we’d love to hear from you. Contact our editor at jane.williams@biostartmagazine.com.
