This first event, held on June 3rd at 17:30 on Geneva Biotech Campus, will focus on Women’s Health, a broad and complex field, necessitating more research and advancements in diagnosis as well as medical and surgical treatment. Adopting a transdisciplinary approach, this conference aims to highlight some relevant topics bringing together several actors; the Patient, the Clinician, the Researcher and professionals from the Pharma, Start-up and Venture Capital sectors.
