The two-day virtual symposium brings together global thought leaders from academia, industry, patient advocacy organizations and health authorities to discuss the latest innovations in pediatric drug development.
“We are thrilled to announce the return of the New Horizons in Pediatric Drug Development Symposium. In 2021, we had the honor of engaging with more than 1,500 participants and viewers on the unique challenges facing drug developers on therapies for children,” said Patrick F.
