A special thank you goes to the excellent lineup of sponsors, chairs, panellists, exhibitors, and presenters who made such a broad and interesting programme possible and to those who participated in person and during the virtual week.
The Life Sciences Week has proven to be successful in supporting our community with 612 delegates from 30 countries and nearly 2300 in-person & online meetings completed.
