The recent Ebola epidemic spread rapidly through Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone in 2014, killing thousands and endangering much of West Africa, and continues to pose a huge global health challenge. It has prompted unparalleled collaboration between industry, academia and governments across the world. This cooperation has led to the development and field-trialling of new vaccine candidates at a rate that is unprecedented for the pharmaceutical industry.

Oxford Biotech is immensely proud to have organised a first-of-its-kind summit at which world-leading Ebola and medical experts will be discussing the various efforts that have been undertaken in the last twelve months to combat the disease.

Join us, for free, at what is certain to be an informative and enthralling discussion about how entrepreneurs, academics, industry professionals and governments can learn lessons from the collaborative approach used to fight Ebola, and how this can lead to revolutionary new approaches in drug discovery and development.

After the event there will be a chance to talk with our high profile speakers and sponsors in a relaxed atmosphere.

Attendance is FREE to all OB Members, and tickets are guaranteed to sell out once they are released!
