The 6th event in the series will be hosted on October 13, 2021 continuing to showcase the industry’s leading voices and perspectives to share expertise in real-time.

Join thousands of research scholars, top scientists, leading academia and industry professionals, clinicians, healthcare and medical experts from around the world to hear the latest advancements and innovative research, while exploring the evolving impacts of the coronavirus disease. The preceding (five) events will remain on demand for two years garnering continuous viewing with peak attendance.

Following on from subsequent events in the Coronavirus Virtual Event Series, the October 13th one day forum will deliver a jam-packed agenda. The line-up comprises a virtual conversation, keynote, panel, sponsored, and on-demand presentations shared by prominent speakers. Kicking off the day, attendees will watch the following keynote deliveries and engage in a “virtual conversation” titled:

‘Discovery and Biology of Protective SARS-CoV-2 Human Monoclonal Antibodies’ presented by Dr. James Crowe, Director of the Vanderbilt Vaccine Center and the Ann Scott Carell Professor of Pediatrics, Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology.

Dr. James Crowe, Professor, Departments of Pediatrics, Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology at Vanderbilt said, “Antibodies are increasing becoming important tools in our arsenal to combat or limit epidemics. The advent of discovery tools allowing isolation of broad and potent antibodies that can be used in synergistic combinations gives us capabilities we have not had in the past. In this presentation via Labroots, we’ll review the techniques, the conceptual underpinnings, and the clinical pathways for human antibodies that protect against COVID-19.”

‘Impact of New Escape Variants and Waning Immunity on the Covid-19 Pandemic’ explored by Dr. Ali Mokdad, Chief Strategy Officer, Population Health, University of Washington.
