Offering much more than any conference, exhibition or trade show, this exclusive meeting will bring together esteemed industry thought leaders and solution providers to a highly focused and interactive networking event. The summit includes presentations on progress in unmet needs, optimising the use of biomarkers and personalised medicine. Within the luxurious settings of the Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa, this networking event presents a unique opportunity to develop meaningful and valuable business relations.
“There will be a continuing and ever increasing need to find solutions that address human diseases, human suffering and that improve health and the quality of life. Pharma, as a critic partner in the healthcare industry, can provide some solutions. But in a rapidly changing environment pharma has to be capable of extraordinary flexibility, willing to adapt its business model and processes to meet the challenges. Recognising and developing value from discoveries in sciences and technologies can only be optimised in partnership with all of the stakeholders,” says Andy Dray, a speaker at Discovery Summit, Chief Scientist, AstraZeneca.

Peter Mueller, EVP & Chief Scientific Officer, Vertex Pharmaceuticals
Andy Dray, Chief Scientific Officer, R&D, Montreal, AstraZeneca
