    K    EYNOTE     SPEAKER:
    Jeff Marrazzo
    CEO & Co-Founder, Spark Therapeutics

    Nearly two decades ago, the mapping of the human genome promised to break the code to disease prevention. It wasn't until two years ago, however, that a Philadelphia company pioneered the first FDA-approved gene therapy to cure a genetic disease - allowing sufferers of a specific type of blindness to see after only a single dose. Jeff Marrazzo, CEO and Co-Founder of Spark Therapeutics, the company behind this revolutionary cure, will talk about the future of medicine, the price of cure and the work being done by drug discovery companies in Greater Philadelphia. Marrazzo and his company's commitment to the region remains steadfast as it is under agreement to be purchased by Roche, the world's largest biotech company, in a $4.3 billion deal that will allow Spark to continue its work as a core part of Philadelphia's science hub.
