Jnetics welcomed close to 200 guests to The Montcalm, Mayfair for a highly successful business breakfast focused on the future of genetics and genomic medicine.
The morning featured a compelling line-up of speakers, beginning with Gil Bar-Nahum, Managing Director at Jefferies International Bank, who delivered an insightful address on where advancements in genetics are heading and the transformative impact they are expected to have in the years ahead. Broadcaster and writer Vivienne Parry followed with a powerful overview of how rapidly genomic medicine has progressed in recent years, highlighting both the pace of innovation and its real-world implications.
Guests listened attentively throughout the event, engaging with the speakers’ perspectives on science, medicine and society. A particularly moving moment came from Jonny Angel, who shared his personal experience and delivered a heartfelt appeal that reinforced the importance of Jnetics’ mission and the reason the charity exists.
“Benjamin died at just 26 years of age – a tragedy no family should ever have to face. What makes this loss even harder to bear is knowing that, today, through the work of Jnetics, it would have been preventable.” Jonny told the captivated audience.
The event exceeded all expectations. Nicole Gordon, CEO of Jnetics, said: “The funds raised will be used to ensure that genetic testing continues to be accessible for so many families, helping to prevent the heartbreak of having a child affected by a devastating genetic disorder.”
The breakfast underscored the growing importance of awareness, education and access to genetic testing, while demonstrating the strong support for Jnetics’ vital work within the business and professional community.
This event marks the first in a fantastic line up of events that Jnetics has planned for 2026. For further information visit jnetics.org/events
