“I am honored and pleased to be sharing my story as a successful entrepreneur in the Maryland biotechnology sector, says Mr. West. “Founding Proscia in 2014 while I was attending John’s Hopkins University has proven to be a challenging feat. Since then, with the help of our investors, Proscia has been recognized for its award-winning digital pathology software and has recently released a new clinical offering that will provide the launch-pad to the next-generation of precision medicine and analytic tools for computational pathology.”

Mr. West will be joined by Christopher College, Managing Partner at TCP Venture Capital, to provide an angel investor perspective on what made Proscia a break out start up worth investing in.
