There have been enormous gains in health outcomes and life expectancy over the last 30 years. For this progress to continue it is likely that existing innovation platforms for drug and device discovery will play an important role. But it is undeniable that there will also be a host of new scientific platforms that will include digital tools, robotics, artificial intelligence based on machine learning and totally new therapeutic approaches to disease such as cell/gene therapy and immunotherapy to name a few. The rapid growth of ‘omics’ knowledge and technology is expected to continue and with it more life-saving applications in medical science.
In order to make the most of these innovations, strategies that effectively transfer new technologies from the “bench” will have to be developed. This is the key focus of the meeting.
