Description

Cambridge Healthtech Institute's Fourteenth Annual Biomarkers and Immuno-Oncology World Congress, now in Boston, is our longest-running event dedicated to all areas of biomarker research and development spanning the pharmaceutical and diagnostic pipelines. With the promising developments in immuno-oncology over the past years, much of the biomarker R&D has shifted to discovery and development of predictive biomarkers for immunotherapy patient stratification, using biomarkers to choose rational combination immunotherapy, and applying immune profiling to predict and monitor response to immunotherapy. The Immuno-Oncology Biomarkers stream will address predictive biomarkers and companion diagnostics, as well as immune profiling and immune monitoring. The Immunotherapy stream will address the two biggest challenges in pharmaceutical IO programs: designing rational combination immunotherapies and strategies to address intrinsic and acquired resistance. Finally, a new track on Digital Biomarkers will cover the clinical utility of biosensors, wearables and mobile health, and their emerging applications in drug development.

The Biomarkers and Immuno-Oncology World Congress brings together a unique and international mix of large and medium pharmaceutical, biotech and diagnostics companies, leading universities and clinical research institutions, government and national labs, CROs, emerging companies and tool providers—making the Congress a perfect meeting-place to share experience, foster collaborations across industry and academia, and evaluate emerging technologies. Now in its fourteenth year, the Biomarkers and Immuno-Oncology World Congress is the leading annual meeting dedicated to biomarkers, diagnostics, and immuno-oncology research and implementation that consistently delivers a cutting-edge agenda, 400+ senior delegates, and a sold-out exhibit hall.

Partner Voices
MGM Resorts is committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse culture, not just among employees and guests but also within its supply chain. The company prioritizes procuring goods and services from businesses owned by minorities, women, veterans, people with disabilities, LGBTQ individuals and those facing economic disadvantages. This commitment is integral to MGM Resorts' global procurement strategy.    Through its voluntary supplier diversity program, MGM Resorts actively identifies and connects certified diverse-owned suppliers to opportunities within its supply chain. The company is on track to spend at least 15% of its biddable procurement with diverse-owned businesses by 2025, demonstrating that supplier diversity is not only a social responsibility but also a strategic business imperative.    Supplier diversity isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s good for business. A diverse supply chain allows access to a broader range of perspectives and experience, helping to drive innovation, entrepreneurship and resilience, while strengthening communities. At MGM Resorts, engaging diverse suppliers ensures best-in-class experiences for guests and clients. Supplier diversity ensures a more resilient supply chain while supporting economic development in the communities in which it operates.   The impact of MGM Resorts' supplier diversity initiatives is significant. In 2023, these efforts supported over 3,500 jobs across more than 30 states, contributed over $214 million in income for diverse-owned businesses and generated more than $62 million in tax revenue. The story extends beyond the numbers – it reflects the tangible benefits brought to small and diverse-owned businesses, fostering economic empowerment in their communities.    MGM Resorts also supports the development and business skills of diverse-owned businesses through investment, mentorship and education. Through the MGM Resorts Supplier Diversity Mentorship Program, the company identifies, mentors and develops diverse-owned businesses to fill its future pipeline, while providing businesses with tools and resources to empower and uplift. Since 2017, the program has successfully graduated 105 diverse-owned businesses and is on track to achieve its goal of 150 graduates by 2025.     MGM Resorts’ commitment to supplier diversity not only enhances its business operations but also plays a crucial role in uplifting communities and fostering economic development. This approach reinforces the idea that diversity is a powerful driver of innovation and resilience, benefiting both the company and the wider community.
