ABU DHABI, UAE, May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Halia Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering therapies that target the innate immune system, announces that CEO Dr. David Bearss will serve as keynote speaker at the Med Investment Forum 2025. 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."
Advancing Precision Immunology Through Genetic Resilience
Halia Therapeutics is redefining how inflammation drives severe medical conditions through cutting-edge science and a robust development pipeline. The company's lead programs include HT-6184, a NEK7 allosteric modulator in clinical trials for myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and obesity, and HT-4253, designed to replicate the protective genetic effect of RAB10 loss-of-function in APOE4 homozygotes who show resilience to Alzheimer's disease.
The Med Investment Forum, held under the patronage of the UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention in partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO), serves as a premier global platform connecting health ministers, investors, biotech leaders, and healthtech innovators.
