About this Event
Do you want to hear what sector’s most influential thinkers say about strategies for neuroscience treatments and innovations for neurodegenerative diseases, and what the future holds for this field. Here is a taste of the likely topics to be discussed in our unique discussion format with keynote interviews with leaders in the field moderated by our forever curious thought-leader Prof Tony Sedgwick. Here are likely some of the areas we will cover:
1. Strategic Landscape
2. Gene-Therapy & Gene-Editing Advances
3. Stem-Cell & Regenerative Strategies
4. Neuroprosthetics & Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI)
5. Pharmaceutical Pipeline and where are the opportunities, and what's been invested in.
6. Cross-Cutting Enablers: AI & Computational Biology
7. Global Collaboration, Access & Policy
8. Anticipated Impact on Patient Care
9. Challenges Ahead
10. What's the 10-year Outlook

Heart of Life Science Innovation at #CreativeDisruption Forum
Each #CreativeDisruption Forum centres on open dialogue, expert insight and interactive discussions, guided by our resident thought leader, Prof. Tony Sedgwick.
Known as the www.ThoughtDisruptor.com, Tony brings extensive experience as a trained pathologist, former Global Head of Clinical Research at Roche AG, and CEO and Chairman across several life science companies. He also draws on his background in psychology and leadership to help participants look at familiar challenges from new angles.
Participants can expect:
• Exchange ideas with peers facing similar strategic and operational issues,
• Gain practical insights from experienced founders and executives,
• Explore actionable approaches to commercialisation and growth,
• Strengthen their professional networks across the UK life sciences community.
The Forum provides a trusted environment to discuss challenges openly, share lessons learned, and explore new ways of driving innovation.
We promise that our #CreativeDisruption Forum will be like no other life sciences event or business network you have experienced. You will be walking out of the session inspired, educated and more connected.
