Day 2: From Precision Health to New Diagnostics and Therapies

Day 2 will cover how advances in areas such as genome-editing, RNA-based medicine, cellular therapies and regenerative medicine, and the advent of other new technology are impacting therapeutic developments. Examples from the field of oncology will serve as illustrations of the revolution in health arising from these. An important theme will be the ability to accelerate health improvements through partnership between academia and industry.
