Molecules to Medicines will feature nationally recognized external speakers whose work exemplifies the full spectrum of translational science and medicine—individuals who excel at moving discoveries from fundamental molecular insights toward clinical application, therapeutic development, and real-world health impact. These speakers represent the phenotype of investigator that the new Manning Institute aims to foster: interdisciplinary, innovative, impact oriented, and deeply committed to turning scientific advances into meaningful outcomes for patients.
By bringing together visionary scientists, experienced innovators, and members of our research community, Molecules to Medicines will serve as an essential platform for building skills, strengthening collaborations, and accelerating the pace at which discovery leads to better health.
