Representing Sano at LEAP HR: Life Sciences 2026 in London
Exploring Bold Strategies for the Future of Talent
At the end of February 2026, London hosted the 8th edition of LEAP HR: Life Sciences — one of the most prominent international events dedicated to talent management in the life sciences sector. Małgorzata Majewska‑Madura and Michał Gołąbek from Sano’s Human Talents team represented the Sano Centre for Computational Medicine at this year’s conference.
The event, designed exclusively for HR leaders from the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and biopharma industries, brings together managers and experts from around the world each year. Through a mix of case study presentations, panel discussions, speed‑learning sessions, and networking activities, the conference creates an exceptional platform for sharing practical solutions that drive organizational growth.
Radical New Thinking in Talent Management
This year’s edition encouraged participants to radically rethink their approach to people and culture in the fast‑evolving life sciences landscape. Discussions focused on topics such as attracting and retaining highly specialized scientific and technical talent, building a future‑ready workforce, leveraging artificial intelligence and data analytics in HR, and redesigning compensation and engagement systems for a more turbulent environment.
For Sano — an organization bridging science and technology — participation in such an event is both an opportunity to learn and to share experiences from its own HR practice. “LEAP HR: Life Sciences is a unique environment where discussions about HR are deeply business‑driven. Every presentation and workshop highlights measurable results — from improved engagement to faster talent development,” emphasized Małgorzata Majewska‑Madura.
Knowledge Exchange and Building Connections
Participants left LEAP HR 2026 with actionable, ROI‑driven strategies ready for immediate implementation. As Michał Gołąbek noted, the sessions provided especially valuable insights for talent acquisition professionals — covering strategic employer branding, data‑driven recruitment with AI tools, and long‑term workforce planning in research organizations.
The participation of Małgorzata Majewska‑Madura and Michał Gołąbek at the London event highlights Sano’s strong commitment to enhancing strategic HR capabilities and applying innovation‑driven, data‑supported practices in talent management — essential for a dynamic, research‑driven organization like Sano.
