state’s life sciences industries.
MassMEDIC President Tom Sommer and Mass. Biotechnology Council interim
CEO, Mark Robinson, will serve on an advisory board that will include
several representatives of the medtech community, including: MassMEDIC
Chair, Karin Gilman of Symmetry Medical/TNCO; Marie Tremblay of Medtronic;
