The event "SHARP Initiative | Road to Innovation: Pathways to Expand Access to Cellular Therapies" will take place on March 18, at the António de Almeida Santos Auditorium, Assembly of the Republic, in Lisbon, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM.

Organized by the NOVA Center for Global Health (NCGH) at NOVA IMS, this event is part of a think tank initiative that brought together experts from various health sectors to reflect on the future of CAR-T cell therapy in Portugal.

During the event, the results of the SHARP Initiative will be presented, examining the potential of new health technologies and the role of cellular therapies, while addressing the challenges and opportunities they present. The discussion will also explore key actions to ensure a balance between innovation and the sustainability of the National Health Service (SNS).

We look forward to your participation in this critical discussion on the future of cellular therapies in Portugal.
