This programme will examine the biological science and ecological challenges, and the laws in play as a result. In short, the panels will address biotechnology and the planet’s ecology.  In more detail, the progamme will explore the role of artificial intelligence in medicine, including the enhancement of human mental capabilities through neural networks; precision medicine and genetic manipulation; the promotion and regulation pharmaceuticals and medical technologies in and for developing countries; climate change, and the regulations, litigation and policies that have arisen in in response to such change; and proposals for how to avoid and otherwise deal with future pandemics that may threaten the globe.

We look forward to seeing you in Boston in July 2025!
