Treatment of malaria : what comes next?

Caroline Boulton (Global Program Head Malaria, Novartis)

Why do we still need new malaria treatments even with vaccines in use?

• How is drug resistance shaping the next generation of therapies?

The Learning Hospital: Turning Routine Cancer Care into Discovery

Dr. Benjamin Kasenda (Senior Researcher, Department of Clinical Research, University of Basel)

The Learning Hospital: Turning Routine Cancer Care into Discovery
For decades, cancer research and cancer care have lived in separate worlds — clinical trials on one side, everyday treatment on the other. But what if every patient visit could quietly contribute to the next breakthrough? In this talk, I'll show how hospitals are being reimagined as "learning health systems," where data from routine care is continuously turned into evidence, and a new generation of pragmatic clinical trials blurs the line between research and treatment. Drawing on examples from Basel and beyond, I'll explore what this shift means for patients, doctors, and the future of personalised oncology.
