RESI Double Panel Announcement: Foundations & CROs

Moderated by David Sandak, Vice President, Research at Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure, the audience will hear from:

Howard Fillit, Executive Director and Chief Science Officer, Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Fund
Benjamin Seckler, Founder and President, Charley's Fund
Annette Bakker, President & CSO, Children's Tumor Foundation
