A Student Conference at Harvard Business School
 

As our understanding of human biology and disease have dramatically improved, we now approach the tipping point of being able to truly impact prevalent diseases.

With the theme "At the Tipping Point: Transforming the Care of Prevalent Disease," the 22nd annual conference delves into the transformative tools, technologies, and approaches that are allowing us to tackle diseases affecting millions, such as obesity, neurodegeneration, and age-related conditions. 

Highlights Will Include:

  • Keynote Speeches & Plenary Sessions: Insightful talks from leading voices at the forefront of healthcare.

  • Aging Workshop: A hands-on session exploring new approaches to tackling age-related diseases with industry veterans and academics pioneering our understanding of the field. 

  • Panels on topics such as the evolving cardiometabolic landscape, investment in prevalent diseases, neurodegeneration, and the continuously expanding role of digital health.

We are now at the precipice of an unprecedented ability to improve the lives of patients across the globe – be part of that change.
