Applying Translational Principles Across the Development Lifecycle

Keynote: Beyond Translation: Accelerating Development to Bring Breakthroughs to Patients Faster

Wednesday, May 13, 2026
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM PT
Location: Pacific Jewel A
How do you challenge conventional thinking about how scientific innovation becomes patient impact? Drawing on real-world experience across biotechnology and pharmaceutical development, this keynote explores how reimagining translational pathways—through earlier integration, smarter decision-making, and patient-centered urgency—can dramatically accelerate development timelines. Attendees will gain insight into the scientific, clinical, regulatory, and leadership strategies that enable organizations to move beyond translation and deliver meaningful therapies to patients faster, without compromising rigor or quality.

Learning Objectives:

  • Reimagine translational development beyond traditional models to more effectively transform scientific breakthroughs into therapies that matter for patients.
  • Recognize pivotal moments across the development continuum where bold, integrated decisions can meaningfully accelerate impact.
  • Explore innovative scientific, clinical, and regulatory approaches that enable faster, smarter, and more patient-centered development.
  • Embrace leadership and organizational mindsets that empower teams to move with urgency, purpose, and scientific excellence toward delivering therapies sooner.
