Marshall Gerstein to Sponsor the 2026 Women in Bio Start-Up Challenge

Marshall Gerstein is looking forward to sponsoring the 2026 Women In Bio Chicago Start-Up Challenge!

This annual event provides a platform for women-led and female-founded life sciences startups to present their technologies and business concepts to a panel of judges and an audience of investors, industry professionals, and supporters. The competition brings together emerging entrepreneurs and members of the life sciences community to spotlight innovation across the biotech and medtech sectors.

We are pleased to share that Partner and Patent Prosecution Practice Chair Heather Kissling will serve as both a moderator and a member of the judging panel during this year's event.

Women In Bio is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting women in the life sciences through leadership development, networking, education, and entrepreneurship programs. Marshall Gerstein is proud to support Women In Bio's efforts to advance opportunities for women across the biotech, medtech, and broader life sciences communities.
