Exploring the acceleration of science from discovery to delivery

COLUMBIA, Md., (October 6, 2025)TEDCO, Maryland’s economic engine for technology companies, announces the panel “Regulating at the Speed of Science” to take place at the upcoming 2025 Entrepreneur Expo at the Hotel at The University of Maryland on October 21, 2025.

“TEDCO is proud to convene thought leaders who are driving innovation in the life sciences,” said Troy LeMaile-Stovall, TEDCO CEO. “This discussion will help illuminate how we can bridge the gap between groundbreaking discoveries and real-world patient impact—ensuring that innovation moves not only faster, but smarter.

Bringing breakthrough science from discovery to patients is never straightforward. While innovators across the life sciences are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, the speed of disruptive advances often outpaces regulatory and development processes. This panel will bring together industry experts to examine the challenges facing companies, regulators, and the healthcare ecosystem—and to discuss strategies for accelerating the path of transformational innovation to patients.

The panel will include:

  • Moderator: Rachel Rath, JLABS @ DC, Johnson & Johnson
  • Elaine Haynes, KaloCyte, Inc.
  • Justin Coen, Venable LLP
  • Adora Ndu, BridgeBio Pharma 

TEDCO’s Entrepreneur Expo is Maryland’s premier gathering for entrepreneurs, business owners, investors and thought leaders to connect, learn and be inspired. This year’s event promises a full day of interactive workshops, insightful discussions and dynamic pitches from emerging companies.
