Panel Discussion: Collating the Lessons Learned from FDA Approved Drugs to Inform the Future of GLP-1 Based Therapies & Ensure a Next- Generation of More Patient Centered Approaches
4:00 pm
- Broadening the therapeutic scope of GLP-1s as the new frontier for a wide range of new applications, such as cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disorders and ageing, offering patients a more comprehensive approach to health beyond just weight loss
- Enhancing drug delivery for patient success to improve patient adherence through less frequent administration, including once-a-month injections and oral medications, providing a convenient and less intrusive treatment experience that supports longterm adherence
- Integrating a complementary ecosystem of care for collaborative approach of chronic drugs, advanced combinations, and procedural solutions that work together to create a personalized treatment plan for each patient, maximizing chances of achieving sustainable metabolic health

Advancing Next-Generation Therapeutics with Engineered Biology to Disrupt the Current GLP-1 Paradigm for Enhanced Treatment Diversity & Commercial Viability
1:30 pm
- Utilizing engineered protein translation and the incorporation of Non-Canonical Amino Acids (ncAAs) for creating new-to-nature biotherapeutics, enabling drug candidates with improved stability, efficacy, and novel mechanisms of action beyond traditional incretin agonism
- Exploring how sustainable, aqueous biomanufacturing is strategically essential to overcome the high cost and inefficiency of existing chemical synthesis methods, ensuring that next-generation peptide therapeutics can meet massive global demand
- Prioritizing platform technologies in commercialization strategy that enable rapid, cost-effective scale up and yielding differentiated products, moving the field past dose-optimization of existing drugs toward wholly novel, patient-focused treatments
