This year’s Life Sciences Investor Forum, running from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Dec. 16, introduces 12 publicly listed life science companies aiming to improve the quality of human life.
From biopharmaceuticals and epigenetics to psychedelics and metabolic health, each company has chosen a niche through which to achieve this goal. Attendees, investors and stakeholders will watch and listen as each of these companies explains their latest ideas, prompting watchers to wonder: What new scientific development will change human life as we know it?
For ReShape Lifesciences Inc. RSLS, the answer to this question may reportedly lie in its Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved Lap-Band® Program, which provides a minimally invasive, long-term treatment for obesity. Meanwhile, VolitionRx Ltd. VNRX will argue that its Nucleosomics™ platform will radically improve patients’ ability to catch and monitor life-changing diseases early. Mind Cure Health Inc. MCURF will posit that its research on the effect of digital therapeutics and psychedelic compounds on mental health will challenge our understanding of conventional mental health therapy. Nine more companies will post their arguments, but investors will only get to hear the full story at the forum.
The Life Science Investor Forum may present a window of opportunity for investors and traders, allowing them to hear exclusively from companies attempting to be health leaders of the future. The 1-day marathon event is free for everyone and requires only a simple email sign-up to join.
