Each year, GNS hosts a precision medicine forum, bringing together leaders from biopharma and managed care to discuss how technology and data are driving personalized medicine across the healthcare ecosystem. This year’s speakers will offer their insights on how real-world data is being leveraged to optimize clinical trials, how managed care and biopharma are working together to define value, improve outcomes while lowering the total cost of care, and how AI is being used to better match the right intervention to the right patient.
Dr.Gottlieb, who served as the 23rd Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and is known as an aggressive advocate for advancing the health of patients, promoting healthcare access, and driving innovation, will keynote the forum.

“Dr. Gottlieb is well known for his progressive work at the FDA in accelerating the drug approval process, leveraging real-world data and driving towards in silico clinical trials. His visionary leadership has affected every facet of biopharma and we think he’s the perfect speaker to keynote our Forum,” said Colin Hill, Chairman, CEO and Co-Founder of GNS Healthcare. “We are literally on the cusp of making personalized medicine a reality, thanks in large part to the work Dr. Gottlieb did while leading the FDA.”
