#BIO22: BIO chair Paul Hast­ings: 'I think peo­ple should speak their truth'

Paul Hast­ings doesn’t of­fer the usu­al biotech ex­ec­u­tive clich­es. The ones en­dorsed by the me­dia con­sul­tant crowd. And some­times the Nkar­ta CEO doesn’t even wait for a ques­tion be­fore jump­ing straight to his an­swers, his truth, as he likes to call it. And that was the way we start­ed our con­ver­sa­tion about his first year as chair of BIO, and how the next year is shap­ing up. Hast­ings will join our pan­el on man­ag­ing a biotech dur­ing tur­bu­lent times, which will be avail­able in a live set­ting in San Diego, or on­line. You can reg­is­ter for that — along with a line­up of vir­tu­al events — here. — John Car­roll
