Riccardo Sabatini @ LBS

The Italian Club and Healthcare Club are pleased to host a presentation and discussion with Riccardo Sabatini.

 

We will discuss the future of the Pharma industry and how the study of genomics will disrupt it in the next years. DNA sequencing is becoming cheaper and cheaper, and this will allow us to create tailored and personalized medicines, as well as use these information to predict and early-tackle future health problems.

Will pharma companies adapt, or will this field become a domain of today's start-ups? Join and discuss with Riccardo!
