HB8 Supper Club - Table Talk with Phuong Khanh (P.K.) Morrow
In celebration of International Women's Day, we present this series of table talks on topics of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Join one or more of these small group events for an intimate discussion on current event topics with leaders across different organizations.
Challenging the status quo is a mindset shift which you can bring about by being conscious about how things operate today – and by proposing a new and better way of doing things. Join P.K., Vice President of Global Development at Amgen in a fascinating discussion on choosing to challenge the status quo.

In addition, she led a pre-clinical and clinical team in the successful submission of the Neupogen® and Neulasta® Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS) sBLAs, leading to approval of both products for the ARS indication.
From 2014 to 2017, P.K. served as the Therapeutic Area Head for Oncology in the U.S. Medical Organization, where she oversaw U.S. oncology research activities, launch activities for newly approved oncology molecules, medical advocacy efforts, extramural research, and independent medical education grants.
