Diversify Biotech</a> would like to invite you to the launch event for our upcoming DEI seminar series. We have invited Quita Highsmith, Chief Diversity Officer at Genentech, and Nana Emezienna, Founder of BLIMP Careers, for a panel discussion on the current
state of DEI in biopharma and concrete actions for change in the immediate future. We hope you will join us at
<b>5:30 PM ET on May 27th</b> to learn from these thought leaders as we examine opportunities to create more equitable biopharma opportunities and environments, as well as healthcare outcomes.
