The reception will serve as a dynamic networking platform for senior Arab scientists and physicians in the academic, medical, educational, and biotechnological fields. We are striving to connect senior representatives of prominent research/healthcare institutions in the Middle East with the vibrant Cambridge biotech and pharma sectors in addition to the greater Harvard and Boston scientific communities. It will be an invaluable opportunity to form scientific and academic collaborations between Harvard and universities in the Arab World, as well as a stage to showcase visionary initiatives undergoing in the Middle East.
