Leslie Lippard, SDP President, and Senior Director, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals
By day, Leslie Lippard leads portfolio analytics at Alnylam, a Boston-based Biotech focused on therapeutics based on siRNA technology. Outside of working hours, Leslie is the current SDP president, and while she used to have a few hobbies (judo, beekeeping), the pandemic has largely put those pursuits on hold. Today, she is excited to be discussing how the SDP and the DAS members can learn from each other, create a larger community, and leverage both our similarities and differences.
