During a recent visit to the campus of Pennsylvania State University, Perreault sat down with Carolyn Donaldson from NPR affiliate WPSU for an in-depth discussion on the state of biotech and how innovation is driving the industry.

“In our space, if you're not innovating, you're managing your exit,” Perreault said. “So that's what we're trying to really drive within the organization is the sense that we're here to deliver for patients.”
