Advanced Therapies Integrates

We are excited to be sponsoring and speaking at this year's Advanced Therapies Integrates event in Stevenage

Innovation in pharmaceutical discovery and development is taking place at an astonishing pace. The genomics revolution and other advances have led to the emergence of highly effective, but extremely complex therapeutics, with cell and gene therapies, regenerative medicines and tissue therapies now transforming the prospects of patients and healthcare providers around the globe. However there remain many strategic challenges to the effective development, deployment and utilisation of these ground-breaking medical technologies.

Don't miss out on Advanced Therapies Integrates which will constitute a new forum, dedicated to bringing together the industry leaders to help drive and deliver the full potential ATMPs.
