The event will take place on May 29, 2025, at the Rotana Beach Hotel in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
Dr. Bearss will present: “Pioneering a New Era of Medicine by Unlocking the Body’s Power of Genetic Resilience.”
The keynote will explore how insights from resilient individuals—those who remain disease-free despite genetic risk—are reshaping therapeutic development. Halia’s research, grounded in population-scale genomic data, is enabling breakthrough treatments for inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases.
“The key to solving medicine’s toughest challenges lies in understanding why certain individuals are protected from disease,” said Dr. Bearss. “At Halia, we’re using that insight to design therapies that reprogram the body’s immune response at the molecular level, ushering in a new era of precision immunology.”
