This workshop brings together leading healthcare professionals, clinician-scientists, translational researchers, and drug/therapy development experts with the primary aims of educating participants, building a cross-disciplinary understanding of therapeutic disease modification in DEEs and RGNDD, and empowering the next generation of young healthcare/scientific professionals entering the field.
Through interactive sessions led by internationally recognized experts, the program provides in-depth education on the scientific, clinical, ethical, and regulatory dimensions of drug development—from mechanism-driven discovery to clinical trial design, and long-term outcome assessment.
