Genetic Medicine Summit
Evolution Revolution
November 17 & 18, 2020
The two day summit will convene hundreds of international drug developers and researchers to share their cutting edge ideas, lessons learned and findings.
Forge lasting collaborations, present emerging science, and explore new tools & technologies that will transform your science and accelerate your work.
During the Summit you can take virtual walk around the venue in a 3D world, listen to our global speakers, and ask questions during our poster sessions from your peers and visit solutions exhibition stands, and don’t forget to use your time to network with other participants.
In the nearly two decades since the human genome was first sequenced, there has been an explosion of insights into the role of genetics in a vast array of diseases. Genetic medicines are a promising new class of medicine that was not possible even a short time ago.
Join us and let's kick-off this revolution together.
Program Highlights
Explore the rapidly advancing science and business of genetic medicines, providing participants a platform to network with colleagues, secure updates on advances in a rapidly growing field, and to attend scientific presentations given by the most esteemed global experts in the field.
-Understand disease biology using Genetic Medicines as a tool.
-Watch demonstration that will enable rapid development of Genetic Medicines that are clinically translatable.
-Meet with experts to Develop partnered drug programs.
-Learn from real case studies on how to graduate to Clinical Development with seamless translation of pre-clinical programs to clinical manufacturing and testing.
