About the open event

The multidisciplinary Light4Lungs research team has worked for over four years in the development of an innovative inhalable photodynamic therapy for treating lung infections. Now that the project is reaching its final stages, the consortium invites you to a one-day session to learn about the project and its advances, challenges and relevance for patients, clinicians and the medical and pharmaceutical industry.

The event will bring together researchers, clinicians, patients and experts on tech transfer. A round table at the end of the session will provide useful dialog opportunities between researchers and these innovation actors.
