And given the growing position of Greater Pittsburgh in this arena, involvement from this corridor is key to the success of this gathering.

State Rep. Jake Wheatley Jr. co-hosted a briefing on the event for key stakeholders in the area at the Pittsburgh Life Sciences Greenhouse (PLSG) on Friday to underscore that point.
