With AstraZeneca playing a big role in the respiratory community SMi are delighted that they will be providing two addresses across the event.
Marianna Alacqua, Senior Global Medical Affairs Leader of Respiratory Biologics will be presenting on 'Application of biomarkers and patients characteristics to personalise treatment of Asthma & COPD'. She will begin by discussing the current clinical unmet needs in both respiratory diseases and then move on to the topic of biomarkers. Marianna will explore how useful they are in identifying disease phenotype and disease course and using biomarkers to develop targeted therapeutics for both Asthma & COPD. Alongside this she will speak on the multidimensional approach to delivering the right treatment to the right patient
On day two, Outi Vaarala, Head of Translational Biology will provide an address on 'Identifying novel biomarkers to determine patient response disease types'. She will talk on the development of novel biomarkers for eosinophilic respiratory disease and mixed T-cell asthma as well as identifying epigenetic drivers in respiratory disease.
