Dear Colleague,

We invite you to attend the 7th Cancer Therapeutics & Partnering Summit, to be held on August 28-29, 2018 in San Diego, CA. This summit includes three tracks focused on both the research, and business perspectives in oncology.

This summit will continue to be a premier event for translational researchers, preclinical scientists and managers, and those carrying out early phase clinical trials working to identify and exploit advances in the field of oncology in order to deliver products with a meaningful clinical impact. In addition, industry leaders from big pharma and various biotech/pharmaceutical companies, including business/corporate development executives, licensing executives, global alliance, and venture capitalists, will all be present to explore potential collaborations and learn about relevant issues in oncology.

Focus areas include cancer diagnostics, cancer immunotherapy, as well as partnering and deal-making in oncology. Discussion topics include emerging targets, therapeutic strategies, next generation sequencing in cancer diagnosis, progress in cancer immunotherapy, combination strategies in immuno-oncology, advancements in technology, as well as business development trends, markets, partnership opportunities, and access to capital market.

Both cutting-edge researchers and those who guide its commercial development will be on-hand to share their knowledge and insights as to how therapeutic cancer targets are identified, and how this research translates into meaningful therapeutics that benefit patients living with cancer!

Why GTCbio?

GTCbio conferences focus on specific topics and bring together high-level industry participants, academics and government representatives.

GTCbio works closely with many successful biotechnology and biopharmaceutical companies that track and measure ROI of the conferences they participate in. The conferences are optimized for increasing key rating factors including number of leads generated by sponsors, exhibition hours, networking hours, on-site support, speaker quality and others. Business development team works closely with multi-conference exhibitors to identify business partners and invite prospective leads.
