BioAgenda 2007 Summit East SILVER SPRING, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GNNTDC: WHAT: * On June 21, 2007, BioAgenda 2007 Summit East: “On the Edge: Can We Heal the Rift Between Science and Politics” will be held in Silver Spring, Maryland. Dr. Peter Hotez, President of the Sabin Vaccine Institute and a leading expert in tropical medicine and parisitology, will speak about the promise of vaccines for targeting “neglected tropical diseases” (NTDs)—poverty-perpetuating, disabling and disfiguring parasitic and bacterial infections that afflict one billion people. NTDs contribute to an ongoing cycle of poverty, stigmatization, disability, disfigurement and death, leaving millions unable to work or participate fully in family and community life.
