The Global Landscape and Opportunities for Medical Breakthroughs

-

We are in a golden age of biomedical innovation. Scientific advances are creating promising new options for previously untreatable conditions; precision diagnostics with unprecedented accuracy are opening new therapeutic frontiers. Targeted therapies that address genetic mutations offer hope for rare diseases and the potential to prevent diseases before they arise. Artificial intelligence is set to revolutionize the efficiency of the medical product life cycle, enabling healthcare to be more precisely tailored to individual risk factors and needs. The session will invite thought leaders to discuss the global landscape of biomedical innovation and where the path should lead for continuous medical breakthroughs.
