translational research, product generation and<br />
commercialization in oncology<br />

We face critical challenges regarding how to efficiently take insights and discoveries<br />
from the laboratory at the bench and translate them into effective therapies that can<br />
be used bedside in a timely and cost effective manner. Various commercialization<br />
models have been developed to promote translational research from bench to<br />
bedside throughout the world; all with different levels of success.<br />
This presentation will outline an effective commercialization model that has been<br />
utilized to help leverage basic research to create a viable and sustainable life sciences<br />
industry. It is an approach that can be relevant in other regions throughout the<br />
world - in both developed and emerging regions.<br />
The presentation will also discuss unique research opportunities that pose additional<br />
challenges to commercialization. One such area that will be addressed is how to<br />
deal with both the extraordinary potential and the additional complexities created<br />
by stem cell research and stem cell based products in the fields of oncology and<br />
regenerative medicine.<br />
