SUMMARY:The Impact of EU MDR Implementation\, and How it Will Change Your Business
DESCRIPTION:This webinar\, led by RQMIS Senior European Regulatory Consultant Dr. Maria Duguine\, outlines what provisions are currently in place during the transition period for the EU Medical Device Regulations. \nThe transition period for the EU Medical Device Regulations (MDR) began in May 2017 and will end when they go into full force on May 26\,2020. During this transition phase\, a number of provisions have been put in place to assist manufacturers\, but they are widely misunderstood and have caused major setbacks for companies trying to adhere to the new regulations. This webinar\, led by RQMIS Senior European Regulatory Consultant Dr. Maria Duguine\, outlines what provisions are currently in place during the transition period\, including how to properly adhere to and implement them. We will also review what will change when the MDR goes into force on May 26th and how this could affect your business. It is imperative that manufacturers get ahead of this change before the deadline for conformity.

SUMMARY:Harvard Medical School Executive Education Webinar: Genomics of Common Diseases: From Discovery to Translation
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, Dr. Sek Kathiresan will share his insights on the practical\, real-world translation of genomics for clinical practice and novel therapeutics development. \nFor common diseases of complex etiology such as myocardial infarction\, gene discovery studies have implicated causative genes and validated drug targets. Recently\, enthusiasm is growing for front-line applications of common disease genomics for clinical practice and therapeutics development. For instance\, polygenic risk scores (PRS) offer the potential to stratify disease susceptibility for broad populations at birth\, but strategies for clinical use are under active debate. Furthermore\, newer therapeutic modalities such as RNAi or genome editing raise the prospect of more rapid translation of genomic insights into therapies. Dr. Sek Kathiresan\, CEO of Verve Therapeutics and Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School (on leave)\, is a world-renowned pioneer in the genomics of cardiovascular disease. In this webinar\, he will share his insights on the practical\, real-world translation of genomics for clinical practice and novel therapeutics development.
