Thursday programming will emphasize personalized medicine for oncology, rare disease clinical trials and biotech venture capitalism
The 2019 BIO International Convention, the world’s premier life sciences event, kicked off its fourth and final day of programming today under the theme “It Starts With One.” This year’s theme recognizes many of the “ones”– one partnership, one idea, one question, one “a-ha” moment – that can lead to globally important advancements in biotech.
The final day of Convention programming will include a Super Session with Nature Biotechnology and Scientific American WORLDVIEW on the main drivers of biotech innovation in markets around the world. The day’s agenda will also include Start-up Stadium presentations and educational sessions on topics such as personalized medicine in cancer care, clinical trial design for rare disease, and the evolving landscape of biotech venture capital, among other topics.
