"*" indicates required fields

The Theme of this Year’s Symposium is AI Powered Drug Discovery from Data to Clinic

The field has seen tremendous progress in single cell technologies, big data and AI-driven analyses, and there has been widespread adoption of these approaches in biotech and pharma. Despite this tremendous potential, translational impact has been to date been modest. We will address this with presentations and discussions aimed at defining these limitations, finding ways to overcome them and ultimately to maximizing delivery of new drugs to patients.
