Jawdrop Life Sciences Summit: Addressing Healthy Ageing, Pandemics, & AMR

Imperial College London and Upstream presents Jawdrop Life Sciences Summit: Tackling Aging, Pandemics, & AMR for a Resilient Tomorrow.

Jawdrop is White City Innovation District's (WCID) summit for academics, startups, scale-ups, enterprises and investors.

WCID is fast emerging as a global economic hotspot in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, medicine, business (STEMMB), the arts and media.

The Life Sciences summit will allow industry and academia to share their work in an in-depth manner with an audience of leading scientists, technologists, researchers and decision-makers from across White City and other UK ecosystems.

2024 theme: Aging, Pandemics & AMR
This conference explores the synergy between resilience and the life sciences. In a world grappling with the challenges of ageing populations, pandemics, and the threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), the resilience of our species and ecosystems becomes paramount.

Join us as we delve into how the life sciences are not only combating these formidable foes but also redefining our capacity to adapt, evolve, and thrive in the face of adversity.

Come to hear about the innovative solutions, interdisciplinary collaborations, and cutting-edge research that promise to shape a more resilient future for us all.
