This conference will examine the up to date most critical scientific, policy and business issues facing stem cell research, medicine and investment. In collaboration with the leaders of the City of San Francisco and the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine, it brings together an international assembly of scientists, clinicians, policymakers and business leaders who share their vision and passion for the life sciences’ most promising field.

This meeting is the premier industry conference exclusively for Chief Executive Officers of biotechnology companies. This year, the Biotech Meeting will be held at the Montage Resort & Spa in Laguna Niguel in Southern California.

Indiana has a lot going for it: large pharmaceutical companies, such as the headquarters of Eli Lilly; research or manufacturing centers for Pfizer, Bayer, and Baxter Healthcare; a growing medical devices industry and top-ranked universities. Indiana businesses, academic institutions and government agencies are coming together with initiatives to put the state on the map in the rapidly evolving life sciences industry and become a leading life sciences corridor. To ensure that this becomes a reality the state has to leverage its research talent and effectively transfer technology from its universities, nurture small to midsize biotech companies and attract significant pools of private investment and venture capital.

This two-day event, which encompasses detailed discussions on the whole spectrum of personalized medicine – from prediction to prevention – provides attendees with a detailed “window” into the emerging personalized medicine world and challenges and opportunities that this new paradigm presents.

DECEMBER 4-5, 2008 - The Aging Meeting
Hear the experts and join the discussion at “The Dawn of Longevity Science”

Aging… Aren’t we all? And yet science may be poised with interventions that could bestow years more of healthy life. Would this be a boon or a bane for rapidly aging populations of the developed world? How will advances in genomics, cell biology, nutrition, bioinformatics, and other disciplines change the course of aging in the 21st century? What economic consequences—and opportunities—await? And how will regulators behave (is death the only endpoint, or will there be intermediate measures)?

Join us for a conference that just might change the way you view the rest of your life.
