Advanced Business Development
Advanced Business Development (ABD) is a long-running course focusing on all key aspects of transactions in the biopharma industry. This course is ideal for professionals, ranging from those with limited experience (2 – 3 years) looking to advance their skills to highly experienced dealmakers and executives aiming to hone their skills and network with other dealmakers.
ABD incorporates lectures from experienced dealmakers, reviews example models, dissects actual deals, allows for interaction with other participants and features live Q&A. The course also includes a mock negotiation scenario, where each participant is a member of a deal team assigned to negotiate a transaction involving a drug in development with another team using an actual valuation and deal structuring model.
Cooley partner Kenneth Krisko and special counsel Stephanie Parker Palmer will be instructing this course.

Investors’ Perspectives – AI and Digital Health Investment Trends in 2025
Join this panel of iconic healthcare and life sciences investors as they share their perspectives on the top areas for artificial intelligence (AI) and digital health investment. Recent reports indicate the number of AI deals in healthcare has grown at twice the rate of AI deals across the tech sector, with one in four dollars invested in healthcare going toward companies leveraging AI. In particular, areas such as patient engagement, clinical decision support, and AI tools for drug discovery and preventative monitoring have shown significant investment traction.
Cooley partner Josh Seidenfeld will moderate this session.
Monday, June 16 | 4:00 – 5:15 pm EDT (Intellectual Property and Legal Landscape)
Intellectual Property Considerations for Inventions Made By, or Involving, Artificial Intelligence
As it has touched so many different areas of human activity, so has AI touched biotechnology and, by extension, biotechnology intellectual property. Panelists will discuss the role of AI in invention, patent eligibility of AI inventions in the US, Europe and China, prosecution of biotech inventions involving AI, and the role of patents in a world of abundance made possible by AI.
Cooley partner Madhuri Roy will speak on this panel.
