Pre-clinic to Clinic: Bioinformatics Strategies for De-risking Drug Development

Medicon Valley Alliance and Fios Genomics are pleased to invite you to a Good Morning Meeting on the 28th of October 2025 in Copenhagen.

The road to new therapies is long, costly, and full of risk, but smarter use of data can change the odds. This session will explore how bioinformatics can drive success in pre-clinical and clinical development, from target validation using public datasets to identifying early biomarkers of efficacy and response. Discover how data-driven insights can boost the chances of success or help projects fail fast and fail cheaper.

Date: Tuesday 28th of October 2025
Time: 8:30 – 11:00
Venue: Medicon Valley Alliance, Arne Jacobsens Allé 15, 2300 Copenhagen S, Denmark – Hub 2
