What’s new at BIOPHEX2004?Thursday 1st of January 1970 1:00
What’s
new at BIOPHEX2004?By Kevin
Richards Industry
Vice President, Reed Exhibitions There’s
a lot that’s new in the biotech industry these days. So far this year, the FDA
has approved eight new drugs and diagnostics coming from biotech companies. The
industry has raised nearly $15 billion in new capital. The federal government
has begun awarding lucrative contracts for defenses against bioterror threats.
Recent successes have put biotech companies on a more even footing with their
“Big Pharma” partners. And investors are bullish on biotech again. Likewise,
there’s a lot that’s new and exciting at BIOPHEX2004. This year’s all-new
conference program, developed by Genetic Engineering News, provides fresh
insights on today’s top-priority issues, including process innovation, drug
delivery as a strategic asset, knowledge management and technology transfer, and
the shrinking biotech plant. And that’s just the beginning! Free
keynote on the future of DNA analysis What
are the newest technologies available for accelerating the drug development
process—and what exciting advances are on the horizon? An expert panel of
researchers from industry and academia will provide answers and insights on
Thursday, September 30th, from 11:30am to 12:30pm. This probing discussion will
be moderated by Shelley Chu, MD, PhD, Principal of Flagship Ventures, an
entrepreneurship and venture capital firm focused on creating, financing, and
building companies in the life science, information technology, and
communications sectors. Panelists include Boris Bastain, M.D., Asst. Professor,
Departments of Dermatology & Pathology, UCSF: Larry Goldstein, PhD,
Professor of Cellular Molecular Biology, University of San Diego and
Investigator, Howard Hughes Medical; Richard S. Judson, PhD, Chief Scientific
Officer/Senior VP, Research & Development, Genaissance Pharmaceuticals; plus
other distinguished scientists to be announced. Free
special presentation on cannabis-based medications Are
cannabis-based medications the next big thing in biotech? Join us on Wednesday,
September 29th at 11:30am as an all-star panel of pioneering doctors
and scientists, moderated by Bill Breen, Senior Projects Editor, Fast Company
magazine, delivers a front-line report on the latest research into
controversial cannabis medicines and their emerging markets in Europe and
beyond. A late breaking addition to the BIOPHEX conference, the panel discussion
is based on a series of relevant Fast Company articles covering this
dynamic subject. A
new pavilion focused on biopharm facilities Get
ready to scale up from lab to pilot production, or from pilot to full scale
commercial processing! As more new biopharmaceuticals reach late stage
development, the need to ensure manufacturing capacity becomes critical. The new
Biopharm Facilities Pavilion at BIOPHEX is the perfect complement to our
conference sessions on “The Shrinking Biotech Plant.”
This is where you will find suppliers with innovative strategies and
equipment for maximizing the production capacity of your existing facilities.
For those planning a new facility, architectural and engineering firms will be
on hand, as well as real estate professionals and representatives from
government agencies and utilities offering special incentives for companies
relocating to their area. New
“Excellence in Biotechnology” Awards In
recognition of the industry’s outstanding achievers, BIOPHEX sponsor Genetic
Engineering News will honor twelve individuals (six winners and six
honorable mentions) for scientific creativity and the focused application of a
technology, service or product in the biotech arena. Winners will be selected
from nominees submitted by their peers in the industry, based on work that
advances the state of biotech science and benefits individuals working in the
field. The deadline for nominations is Friday, August 27, 2004. For full
details, please visit www.biophex.com . Preview
the latest research results. Back
again by popular demand, the BIOPHEX Poster Presentations will feature results
of breakthrough research being conducted by individual scientists, universities
and research centers. Between 12:30pm and 2:00pm on Wednesday, September 29th,
presenters will be on hand to discuss their projects, and Genetic Engineering
News will present the “Best Poster” award. Posters will remain on
display throughout all three days of the BIOPHEX event. Meet,
