“Delighted to kick off our annual The Cancer Drug Development Forum (CDDF) here in Ghent – brilliant opening session. Highlight for me was doing a fire-side chat with Emer Cooke Executive Director of European Medicines Agency – what a leader… and she was appointed just as COVID hit but guided EMA through the pandemic. Great audience participation”
