Held in Los Angeles from 25–27 January 2026, the CPF Breakthrough Summit convened 50 world-leading experts, including researchers, clinicians, industry leaders and people with lived experience, to accelerate progress across six priority areas.
Co-chaired by Professor Nadia Badawi, the Summit aligned participants around key translational gaps and near-term opportunities – including genetics, organoids, regenerative medicine, pharmacology, immunology/inflammation, and emerging technology and AI – and launched six working groups to drive coordinated action.
Cerebral Palsy Alliance was represented by Professor Iona Novak and Professor Rod Hunt, contributing expertise to help shape the Summit’s five-year scientific and translational roadmaps, milestones and partnership strategies.
Together, this work sets a clear direction: to build a coordinated international network that accelerates translation from discovery to real-world care whilst also to deliver measurable progress in prevention and cure.
