Talk title: Designing next generation immune therapeutics
Corporate Presenters: Artract and Cytocast
Artract is a fully implantable non-active Medical Device without blood contact that frees the apex of the heart in order to allow for inverse longitudinal shortening, in this way improving heart function and reducing left atrial pressure, which increases patients quality of live and live expectancy. Dr. Wolfgang Goetz, Founder and Executive Chairman of Artract and Venock, will be presenting.
Flight simulators are used to test pilots, we create a cell simulator to test treatments. Cytocast Ltd. is a Budapest-based startup company that revolutionizes drug discovery and personalized treatment by integrating bioinformatics databases with patient data into computer models to understand the effects of perturbations caused by diseases and predict how drugs can modify cellular health.Prof. Attila Csikász-Nagy, CEO of Cytocast, will be presenting.

Advances in cancer management - from precision oncology to a focus on mitigating the impact of Covid-19 by Professor Balazs Halmos
Our goal is to encourage young women to engage in science or business. With the examples of successful Hungarian female scientists and entrepreneurs, we would like to show examples that can inspire young people to pursue a scientific or entrepreneurial career. Three moderated panel discussions are planned, one focusing on science, the other on business, and the third on the youngest generation, when Hungarian students at various US universities will speak about their experiences.
