John Rice is a veteran of the annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference (JPM), dating back to the days when it was known as Hambrecht & Quist. He's accustomed to the frenetic pace of the San Francisco event that kicks off the year for biopharma and, increasingly, for the larger life sciences universe. What's different from those early years is the number of costume changes he makes during the week as director of life sciences at Cincytech.
