BIO Alabama's CEO, Rachel Lane, PhD was appointed to the University of Alabama's Center for Convergent Bioscience and Medicine (CCBM) Scientific Advisory Board. 

CCBM is dedicated to the convergence of bioscience and medicine with chemical, biological, physical, mathematical, and engineering disciplines. This collaborative approach will overcome obstacles in drug development to bridge the preclinical and clinical divide. 

"I am honored to be a member of this advisory board and to serve with such distinguished scientists who represent various disciplines but one goal: a collaborative approach to improving the human condition through science," said Lane. "Alabama in general, and the University of Alabama specifically, are fortunate to have the vision and energy of Ravi Kumar, PhD leading this charge in our state."
