With speakers both sides of the pond including sessions with the International MPS Society (iMPSS) Meeting Co-Chair Magdalena Kasendra and EUROoCS Chair of Industry Advisory Board Pelin Candarlioglu Deacon showcasing and introducing select members research (full list of research centres and companies below).

🎅 We can't head off for a Christmas break, without saying what a huge and welcome shift it has been in 2025 for regulatory approaches and roadmaps to focus on human relevant research. Summarised in this quote by FDA Commissioner Marty Makary M.D., M.P.H. “Modern science has given us far more effective and humane ways of evaluating drug safety than animal testing.” And in a nutshell by Thomas Hartung “Goodbye Rabbits, Hello Relevance”
