Join us at Mavatar for an afternoon where science meets Halloween.
We're bringing together R&D and business development leaders, researchers and partners for a few hours of good conversation about what it takes to make better decisions in drug development, and how data-driven biology is changing the way pharma and academia work.
We'll start with a welcome from our leadership team and a short introduction to why Mavatar exists and where we're heading. Our CRDO, Danuta Gawel will then take you on a scientific deep dive into how we uncover the biology hidden in data, and what that means for real R&D decisions.
This is followed by a moderated panel with Ann-Sofie Backman, Associate Professor at Karolinska Institutet and Senior Physician at Ersta Hospital, together with speakers from Sobi and other representatives from across the industry. They'll share first-hand experience of collaboration in practice: what worked, what it changed, and where the field is going next.
After the program, stay for food, drinks, music and Halloween activities. Costumes are welcome but entirely optional.
