From aging populations, global pandemics, access to quality healthcare, and the addiction crisis, the processes for advancing human health have been at the forefront for many of us over the last several years. If we are to truly understand what the future of patient care entails, we must first look at the necessary improvements required to strengthen how we serve our communities. BC has been a leader in the life sciences sector with companies such as Abcellera, Acuitas, Stemcell Technologies, Precision Nanosystems and Zymeworks at the bleeding edge of so many innovations. But are our systems set up to sustain us as a global hub for innovation?
In this VEF event you will hear from leaders in digital health, ageless living, psychedelic inspired medicine and more. With "TED-style" presentations, a Fireside Chat and audience Q&A, we will dive into where innovation is poised for growth and what are the challenges we need to overcome to continue to be a global leader in the life sciences sector.
