Current Frontiers of Precision Therapeutics

Join us on October 22 from 9 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. ET for our annual Gairdner Science Week International Symposium. This year’s International Symposium celebrates the pioneering work of Drs. Michael J. Welsh and Paul Negulescu, recipients of the 2025 Canada Gairdner International Award. Their research into the molecular mechanisms of cystic fibrosis has led to the development of breakthrough therapies that have profoundly changed patient outcomes. Join a global lineup of leading scientists as we explore new therapeutic innovations and the power of curiosity-driven research to change lives.
