CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Portal Instruments, a medical device company focused on advanced drug delivery and solving the challenge of self-administering biological medicines, is pleased to announce that Senior Director of Marketing Barbara Taylor will be speaking at the inaugural Drug Delivery West program in San Francisco, taking place May 21-22.
