Announcing the final 2025 Breakthrough East agenda!

An update from our editorial director of events on the Breakthrough East agenda. Only 2 weeks left — join us in NYC or online on March 20.

Log In    Breakthrough East SUMMIT NEWS | A NOTE FROM MATTHEW HERPER The 2025 Breakthrough East lineup is here We're only two weeks out from STAT Breakthrough Summit East, and I couldn't be more excited to announce the final 2025 agenda.   We've added sessions that could not be more of the moment. STAT's legendary infectious disease reporter, Helen Branswell, will sit down with Tom Frieden, a former director of the CDC, and Kathryn Edwards, who literally co-wrote the textbook on vaccines.   I'll interview former FDA commish Scott Gottlieb. And STAT's Jason Mast, who just wrote a widely read piece on how CRISPR companies are not OK, will interview a new CRISPR pioneer.   Add that to an already packed day — take a look at the full agenda. It will be a blast, and I hope to see you there!
