Participants will discuss innovative approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases, including rare pathologies and oncological diseases, and will also examine the impact of artificial intelligence and VR technologies on the transformation of the pharmaceutical industry. A key part of the programme will be discussions about socially significant diseases, how to prevent them, therapy for such diseases, as well as intellectual property issues in pharmaceuticals. The Forum will also address the development of the domestic pharmaceutical market, including the circulation of drugs and what kind of prospects companies have as stock market drivers.
