IBC's Inaugural Cell Therapy Clinical Development Conference
10th September 2012 — 11th September 2012
Overcoming Regulatory and Reimbursement Hurdles to Translate Promising Cell-based Assets into Clinical Commercial Success
Cell Therapy has come of age.
Today there are over 200 companies involved in cell-based therapeutics including cell/stem cell therapy, tissue engineering and gene therapy, with approximately 30% of the companies said to be in commercial product stage, and another 30% in clinical trial stage, indicating a fast growing industry with a robust pipeline.
With the fast growth and huge potential naturally comes a host of challenges, roadblocks and pitfalls. This conference will bring the most pertinent topics including regulations, reimbursement, ethics, preclinical translation and clinical trials to the forefront, and showcase case studies, first-hand accounts and strategies that will help companies put these obstacles in perspective.
Join 30 industry leading CEOs, CSOs, Senior VPs and Directors from companies in US, UK, Germany and Israel to review what failed, what worked, and what's ahead in this highly promising yet challenging industry!
