GlaxoSmithKline's Stout to Deliver Keynote at Biotech 2001
An industry veteran, Mr. Stout is a perfect fit for the Biotech 2001 conference as it brings together representatives from academia, business, corporate and finance to learn about industry trends and discover new opportunities in the life science market. Co-hosted by the Council for Entrepreneurial Development (CED), the North Carolina Biotechnology Center (NCBC), the North Carolina Biosciences Organization (NCBIO), and the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO), Biotech 2001 is the Southeast's premier biotechnology industry conference.
"GlaxoSmithKline has long been a world leader in pharmaceutical research and development, and to locate one of its main offices in North Carolina highlights the strength and diversity of our regional economy," said Monica Doss, CED president. "We're pleased to have Mr. Stout, an esteemed expert from GlaxoSmithKline, to speak on the industry's recent trends and future developments."
Mr. Stout joined SmithKline Beecham in October 1996 as senior vice president and director for U.S. sales and marketing, and served as president of pharmaceuticals for North America since 1998. Before joining SmithKline Beecham, Mr. Stout was president of Schering Laboratories with responsibility for its U.S. pharmaceutical operations, worldwide manufacturing, planning and financial services.
