The past week offered a number of opportunites for Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey to champion the Commonwealth’s global leadership in the life sciences. On Tuesday, Governor Healey was joined by Economic Development Secretary Yvonne Hao, MLSC President and CEO Kirk Taylor, and leaders from Massachusetts General Brigham for a visit to Cellino.
