Bio

Graham Combe is an experienced strategic consultant, relationship builder, and entrepreneur in the global life sciences sector. He holds a BSc (Hons) in Chemistry from University College London (UCL) and spent over a decade with Nature, where he pioneered key initiatives such as Nature’s BioPharma Dealmakers and Nature’s SciCafe.

In May 2011, he founded Biosell UK, a consulting and event management firm that collaborates with global life science publishers, event organizations, and marketing partners. Beyond BioSell, Combe is the founder or co-founder of several prominent networking and thought-leadership platforms, including #BiotechBuddies, #coffeebuddies, the #AgileLeaders Forum, and the Creative Disruption Forum—the latter three events co-hosted with his business partner, Professor Tony Sedgwick.

Specializing in the early-to-mid stages of drug development (from pre-clinical research through Phase 3 and clinical proof-of-concept), Graham focuses on facilitating forums to promote peer-to-peer discussion, strategic growth, investment and meaningful connections between biotech innovators, investors, and industry service providers.
