Description: This one day-conference will examine the role of FTO to successfully commercialise scientific discoveries in the life science industry. Today there is a shift from patent protection to freedom to operate, which opens up opportunities for collaboration and licensing with other companies.
Intellectual property is the cornerstone to early-stage deal making in the life science industry and by owning, or to have exclusive rights to a key patent or a patent, a company are able to exclude its chief competitors from the marketplace.
Our distinguished speaker panel with companies such as NKT Holding, UCB Group, Genmab, H. Lundbeck, Boston University, Plougmann & Vingtoft and Zacco Sweden will guide you from the early stage freedom to operate search to set up an FTO strategy to collaborate and make licensing deals with partners and competitors.

Description: Biologic agents have revolutionized the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and Crohn's disease. Many of these agents modulate the activity of cytokines such as TNF, IL-6, and (still in clinical trials) IL-12 and IL-23. There is every reason to believe that additional cytokines will play significant roles in multiple inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. This symposium will introduce new agents directed at cytokines not previously exploited, and will showcase promising early-stage clinical results using the new agents in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosis, diabetes, and cancer. In addition, the lessons learned from one clinical trial failure, and how they apply in general to development of biologics, will be discussed.

Medical devices have extended the ability of physicians to diagnose and treat diseases, making great contributions to health and quality of life. However, bringing life saving products to patients expeditiously remains a great challenge for medical device companies. The 21st century will be full of great corporate challenges in this arena and the question of how to achieve innovation efficiently and how to sustain this innovation will be at the forefront. This program will examine the nature of innovation in the field of medical devices and the social and economic infrastructure that supports and challenges such innovation and development of products.
The day will conclude with BIOCOM's 3rd annual DeviceFest Exhibition, an exciting roundup of the hottest new medical devices either on the market or nearing commercialization. This venue is an opportunity for medical device companies to showcase one or more of their devices in a tradeshow setting to an audience of 100+ life science and medical device individuals, venture capitalists, media and more.

Description: Dear Colleague,
As more and more compounds derived from high throughput screening find their way into clinical trials, drug screening has become widely accepted as a critical path in the drug discovery process. After more than a decade of rapid growth, tremendous progress has been made in assay technologies, laboratory automation, and informatics. These technological developments have not only enabled a drastic increase in throughput and efficiency in drug screening, but have also provided novel solutions in other areas of drug discovery and development. In the last few years, there has been a growing trend of setting up screening facilities in academic institutions and universities. Screening has also become an important emerging tool for biological research.

Description: Continuing discoveries in molecular biology and genetics provide the foundation for new and improved processes and products in today's biochemical process industry. The production of therapeutic proteins, which is made possible by new discoveries in biotechnology, generated sales exceeding $30 billion in 2004. In addition, biotechnology has led to marked improvement and expansion in the traditional biochemical process industry for production of enzymes, diagnostics, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and foods. Continued introduction of new technology necessitates innovation in process development scale-up and design. As a consequence, there is the need to design new, as well as to improve, existing processes. An integral and cost intensive part of these processes is associated with downstream processing for product isolation and purification.

Description: The last decade has witnessed extraordinary progress in identifying gene defects that cause inherited forms of major neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). By contrast, there has been little progress in defining the origins of the more common sporadic forms of these disorders. The purpose of this symposium is to consider and critique new hypotheses for sporadic neurodegeneration.
This program facilitates the full engagement of junior investigators (students, post-docs, fellows, technicians, instructors and lecturers) by offering ample opportunities for networking, interacting with senior faculty and discussing mutual research and clinical interests.

Description: BioNetwork 2007 at The Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel was a remarkable success with the help of exceptional speakers, relevant presentations, and great audience participation. Over 250 business development and licensing leaders from top pharmaceutical and biotech companies gathered to network and explore partnerships, as well as discuss the evolution of alliances in the industry. There were numerous opportunities to meet with potential partners, be it through BioNetwork's one-on-one meeting rooms, numerous receptions, or end of conference golf outing.
Preparations are already on the way for our 6th annual event taking place October 6-8, 2008 at The Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel, CA. Partnerships are vital to your company's success. Complementary resources - biotech's innovative products and pharma's deep pockets - have been the impetus for many strategic alliances. Yet the cold truth is that most of them fail - and for non-technological reasons. Culture clash, miscommunication, and poor strategic matches are often to blame. How will you avoid a similar fate with your next partner? BioNetwork 2008 will provide the knowledge you need to drive business success.
