Orphan Drugs Research and Commercialization

Conference - Boston, Massachusetts, United States

It is our pleasure to invite you to join us at the inaugural Orphan Drugs Research & Commercialization Conference on May 8-10, 2013 in Boston, MA. Over the past years, there has been increasing attention given to the rare disease space: more and more companies are looking to invest in orphan drug development, and novel therapeutics such as gene therapy are moving to the forefront of the industry.

However, while this growing interest in rare diseases is an encouraging sign for those in the field, it also signals a need to move forward in uncovering solutions for key issues such as patient advocacy, pricing, and partnerships. This meeting provides a unique forum for all stakeholders in the community to collaborate and build meaningful relationships.

A few topics our delegates can look forward to learning about:

Rare disease scientific research happening in both industry and academia, from medicinal chemistry to gene therapy and much more

Commercialization of rare disease treatments, particularly gene therapy

Ways to improve your pricing strategy in the dynamic world of orphan drugs

New ideas on how to form better partnerships through presentations on outsourcing and collaboration models rare disease organizations are currently using

Different perspectives from academia, patient groups, pharma, biotech, and government agencies and opportunities to meet these individuals

An Overview of the Conference Agenda:

Session I: Scientific Discovery in Rare Diseases

Session II: Designing Effective Clinical Trials

Session III: Commercialization of Orphan Drugs

Session IV: Partnering in Rare Diseases

Panel Discussion: Investment: VC & Patient Group Perspectives

Panel Discussion: Regulatory in Orphan Drug Development
