About this Event

Uncommon Productions and Stand Up 2 Cancer are pleased to invite you to an advance private screening of Cracking the Code.

This new documentary is a powerful reminder that breakthroughs and life-saving biotech treatments don’t happen by accident. They happen because of a unique ecosystem—one that supports bold ideas, invests in basic research, and encourages entrepreneurs to take risks.
Phil Sharp’s journey—from groundbreaking research to founding transformative companies like Biogen and Alnylam—shows how science, entrepreneurship, and the market can work together to solve humanity’s greatest challenges.
We hope you will join us for the film and the important conversation about how cutting funding for science or rolling back incentives for innovation isn’t just a budget decision—it’s a choice to walk away from the next great discovery and the economic growth fueled by the biotech sector.
The screening will be followed by a networking reception with food and drinks.
