Exclusive Seminar

Driving a Precision Medicine Revolution in Complex Disease

Mechanistic Insights & Biomarkers from Multimodal Biobank Data


Agenda & registration below

  Wednesday 24 April, 9AM - 12PM
 CIC Cambridge, One Broadway, Cambridge, MA

Gain a new understanding of how to find and use causal disease biology to select the right target, indication and patients to increase the probability of success in developing and launching your drug programs.

Mechanistic biomarkers now drive the identification of novel targets for personalized medicine and patient stratification insights to inform target selection, trial design, diagnosis & treatment. Precision medicine analysis of biobank data is central to this new era of innovation.

This seminar will explore the innovations that are de-risking biopharma R&D and future trends in precision medicine for complex diseases from diagnostic breakthroughs to revolutionary therapeutics.
