The agenda also includes numerous investor-related panels and opportunities for scientific exchange.
Commenting on RS BioTherapeutics’ selection, the company’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Michelle L.

We are excited to share the science behind our first-in-class, steroid-free agent RSBT-001 and how it can serve as a development platform for serious lung diseases characterized by pulmonary inflammation. RSBT-001 is currently in development for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), the third leading cause of death in the world; and Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), a rare disease with no cure that claims 40,000 lives each year in the U.S.”
