2019 LakePharma Symposium

LakePharma Symposium - 2019

LakePharma is pleased to organize its annual Symposium to bring together individuals and organizations in the biotech community to discuss the latest developments in gene and cell therapies.

The 2019 symposium will cover topics in cell and gene therapies. The conference is designed to benefit scientists currently working in the biopharmaceutical industry who want to improve their awareness of the latest advancements in next-generation therapeutics, as well as non-scientists who seek a better understanding of the processes, challenges, and opportunities in the industry.

In addition to formal presentations, the symposium will include special topic workshops, a poster session, and a happy hour for networking. 

Note: Online registration is now closed. Onsite registration will open at 8 am at the Symposium.
