Getting trial ready: A start-up’s journey to clinical development

About the event

Moving from early-stage research into clinical development is a major milestone for any life science company.

This session, part of the Getting Trial Ready series, will explore the journey to clinical development from a start-up perspective. Hear directly from Oxford VacMedix UK as they share their experience of preparing for the clinic, including key decision points, challenges encountered, and lessons learned along the way.

The session will offer practical insights into navigating early clinical development, with reflections on what worked well and what they would approach differently next time.

This event is ideal for early-stage biotech founders, researchers, and teams planning their transition into clinical development.
