RegeneRative mediCine - ALM Events

Welcome
Dear Colleague:
The promise of stem cells & regenerative medicine discoveries and their potential
to transform the treatment of disease, continues to drive biological research and
technology development in the life sciences. The fact that analysts predict that a
market based on stem cell therapies could grow anywhere from $10-30 billion by
2010 makes it crucial for us to gather and discuss the research and commercialization
activities currently being conducted by academia and industry. The field of
regenerative medicine is surrounded by hype, but successful commercialization
will depend on careful analysis of business strategies that can deliver hope to
patients.
Please join us in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, October 16-17, 2006 for the 6th Annual
Stem Cells & Regenerative Medicine meeting.
This forum is the perfect setting for thought leaders in regenerative medicine to
convene and share critical perspectives on the current status and future of stem
cell research and regenerative medicine. This meeting is designed to promote
interactions that will ultimately result in the acceleration of scientific discovery and
the development of new technologies, in the end benefiting patients worldwide.
We look forward to being your hosts in Pittsburgh for the second consecutive
year. Pittsburgh’s strengths in the areas of transplantation, tissue engineering and
stem cell research continue to make it a great location for us to come together for
the advancement of regenerative medicine.
