About this Class

NCATS was sparked by the energy of patients, communities, and researchers frustrated by the high failure rate of drug development. This event will highlight collaborative efforts and state-of-the-art technologies that are breaking down barriers to bring more treatments to all people more quickly. The agenda features conversations and lightning-round talks by thought leaders in research, clinical care, and advocacy who will share their perspectives on the transformational power of data, novel approaches for de-risking a drug’s journey along the preclinical pathway, crosscutting solutions for many diseases, and high-impact innovations in clinical research.
