Fierce's J.P. Morgan 2012 executive chats, recapped

We had a great time in San Francisco this week huddling around the Westin St. Francis for J.P. Morgan's 30th Healthcare Conference. Mark Hollmer gave us a fly-on-the-wall take on the mood Wednesday. John Carroll and Ryan McBride joined Mark recapping "mixed feelings" biotechnology executives are starting the year with. 

We also set a mission to meet with the newsmakers driving drug and device development. Here's a quick run-down of some of the players our editorial team spoke with, complete with links to their J. P. Morgan slide show page.
