2025 Unmet Medical Needs Forum

Topic: "Bedside to Bench: Human-based Models of Disease for Drug Discovery" This year's theme, Bedside to Bench: Human-based models of disease for drug discovery, centers around the move towards more human-based models in drug discovery and development, in line with the recent guidance from the NIH and FDA. As such, we have designed a program that showcases researchers at Emory and beyond that are developing humanized disease models that enable powerful drug discovery campaigns. As a logical extension of these efforts, we will also host a physicians unmet medical needs panel discussion to hear directly from clinicians on the most pressing and critical needs they’re facing in the clinic.
