Ending Age-Related Diseases: Investment Prospects & Advances in Research

At the Frederick P. Rose Auditorium, Cooper Union in New York City, we will be hosting a special one-day conference focused on aging research and biotech investment. Developing therapies from initial concepts, through clinical testing, and ultimately to market takes a pipeline, and right now, that pipeline is being built to support the next step in medicine: rejuvenation biotechnology. Join us for this exciting event, where industry experts will be sharing their insights on the advances and investment prospects in an industry poised to revolutionize medicine forever.

We bring you insights from the leading experts in research and biotech investment, who will guide you through the industry in a series of talks and presentations. Below are the confirmed guests, and we will be announcing more speakers soon, so be sure to check back with us often to see who else will be joining us.
