The morning session will showcase the benefits of stepping on the gas pedal of the immune system to fight against cancer and pathogens. Flipping the Yin&Yang immunology coin in the afternoon\, the overstimulated immune system could also lead to autoimmune\, inflammatory\, and neurogenerative diseases\, where a brake is a key to therapeutic success.  \nConfirmed speakers: Tong-Ming Fu\, Head of North America Vaccine Research\, Sanofi Pasteur Jan Joseph Melenhorst\, Director\, Product Development & Correlative Sciences Laboratory\, University of Pennsylvania Percy Carter\, Head of Discovery Chemistry & Molecular Technologies\, Drug Discovery Research\, BMS Eric Hostetler\, Executive Director\, Head of Translational Imaging Biomarkers\, Merck \nTechnology TrackThis session will cover cell and gene therapy\, expanding the horizon of small molecule discovery and emerging technology trend in biological developmentSmall molecule discovery: Although small molecule drugs are still the mainstream pharmaceuticals\, they are losing the competitiveness in certain disease areas to biologicals and other new modalities. This session will highlight some new horizons\, both scientifically and geographically\, in the hope to restore the glory of small molecules.Biological development: Biological drugs have seen remarkable increases in both utility and complexity in recent years\, for successful treatment of conditions including autoimmune disease and cancer.

Butt\, President & CEO\, PROGENRA INC Linghang Zhuang\, Head of Chemistry\, Eternity Bioscience\, Inc \nBusiness Track: Unlocking the Potential for Innovation through Acquisitions\, Alliances and CollaborationCollaboration has never been more important in the biopharmaceutical industry than it is now.  Sourcing externally to strengthen R&D pipelines and bring much-needed new therapies to patients is pivotal for established biopharmaceutical companies.  “Deals” have also grown more complex and risky as disruptive scientific and technological advancements present both alluring opportunities and uncharted uncertainties. \nIn this track\, we have convened a panel of seasoned industry leaders and experts to discuss trends\, challenges\, and key success factors for big biopharmaceutical companies and small players to joint forces in accelerating innovation. The track will include three sessions: 1). the Evolving Landscape and Trends in Biopharma Collaborations; 2). Business Development & Licensing – Strategic Drivers for Making the Right Deals; 3). Alliance Management in Making a Collaboration Work. \nConfirmed speakers: Frederick (Rick) Jones\, Partner\, BioAdvance Jie (Jay) Liu\, Managing Director\, Torreya Partners \nGlobal Health TrackThis session will cover the forum\, Innovative Clinical Trials Design and Healthcare Advocacy.

The CEO forum is a highly interactive forum that you won’t want to miss. Innovative Clinical Trial Designs: To speed up new drug development and enhance the probability of success\, innovative trial designs have been increasingly adopted in clinical research. In this session\, we will discuss the design and application of adaptive\, umbrella\, and basket designs\, as well as other methodologies. Health advocacy session brings speakers from both public organizations and pharmaceutical companies to share the effort made towards the commitment of improving the lives of patients\, including better understanding patient needs\, disease awareness\, patient-focused public policies\, and patient diversity in clinical designs. \nConfirmed speakers: Xi-Yong (Sean) Fu\, President\, Luye Boston R&D LLC Li Chen\, President and CEO\, Hua Medicine Kevin Heyeck\, Venture Partner\, 6 Dimensions Capital Steve Abrams\, Partner\, Global Life Sciences Leadership Team\, Hogan Lovells Shell Li\, Chief Medical Officer and Chief Operating Officer\,  Hengruiyuan Larry Alphs\, Deputy Chief Medical Officer\, Newron Pharmaceuticals Parvin Fardipour\, Vice President\, Adaptive Clinical Trials\, ICON Plc.
