Late M&A bonanza stokes healthcare dealmakers ahead of JPMorgan conference

Healthcare dealmakers are making their way to San Francisco for a major industry conference, optimistic that more deals are in the offing after a wave of biotech company takeovers at the end of last year.

Kicking-off on Monday, the four-day JPMorgan Healthcare Conference is expected by organizers to attract over 8,000 people, including delegations from the world’s largest drugmakers.
