Series - Scientific Developments

New algorithms and optical system improvements are expanding the frontier of cell imaging quality. Artificial intelligence techniques enable better visualization of cellular mechanisms in a wide number of applications and across multiple scientific disciplines, including advancing neurological research. View this Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) webinar as it highlights how AI and imaging are being used to improve our understanding of complex and notoriously intractable disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Dementia, and related diseases. Learn from the following imaging and therapeutic development experts as they answer audience questions during the session.  

The Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) and BioFlorida present "The Transformative Potential of Genomic Medicine 2.0." Genomic technologies create powerful tools that have the potential to diagnose, treat, and permanently subdue many human diseases. Technologies such as gene therapy, gene editing, and CRISPR are just some of the newest terms as researchers and clinicians work on new approaches to develop lifesaving, disease-altering treatments. This session provides in-depth discussion regarding how treatment is changing in rare diseases and the sickle cell community, and how public and private payers are approaching coverage of these crucial treatments. The session opens with statements from two legislators, then the panel features two patients and an expert in alternative payment models to provide information and answer questions from policymakers.
