PharmaMedDevice On Demand

I’m excited to share the news about PharmaMedDevice On Demand – a new webcast library featuring presentations from the recent PharmaMedDevice Conference in New York.   

The library features two complimentary webcasts so listeners can get a sample of the valuable, industry content offered – The Future of Device-Biologics (Presented by AnneMarie Moseley, CEO, Aggregate Therapeutics) – and Bionanotechnology and Drug Delivery (Presented by Raj Bawa, President, BAWA Biotechnology Consulting LLC; Ola Nerbrink, Principal Scientist, Novo Nordisk; and Alan Minsk, Parnter and Leader Food and Drug Practice Team, Arnall Golden Gregory LLP).

Harvesting for Combination Products

Do you see yourself as a thought leader in the converging medical device, pharmaceutical, and biologics industries?  Do you have an idea, innovative solution, unique application or success story that would benefit your colleagues?

Following on the success on the 2007 conference, PharmaMedDevice is looking for submissions of papers for the most comprehensive forum for the convergence of the medical device, pharmaceutical, and biologic industries. Share your expertise as the dynamic future of combination products and drug delivery technology continue to evolve for 2008. This conference will provide a dynamic knowledge-based platform for education, partnering, sourcing, and discovery of innovative new products – and a unique opportunity for cross-sector collaboration across these industries. The sessions will also address the exciting new technologies that are revolutionizing the healthcare industry – including personalized medicine, bionanotechnology, and novel drug delivery systems. We are looking for presentations in the following areas:

Crossing the line - PharmaMedDevice

PharmaMedDevice 2007 was a banner event. Pictured left is Opening Day, Tuesday, April 24, where attendees crossed the line between PharmaMedDevice and INTERPHEX. The onsite feedback from the audience, speakers and exhibitors alike was uniformly positive. Visitors  enjoyed the first year's program, the ability to cross-over to the INTERPHEX showfloor, and the overall 'BUZZ'; and it was great to hear them say so. Top companies and executives from leading combination product manufacturers were well represented. See who registered to attend in NY.

If you missed PharmaMedDevice 2007, you'll really want to make sure you catch the next edition!  The second annual event will take place March 26-28, 2008 in Philiadelphia, PA and will be co-located with INTERPHEX and Biotechnica, Europe's leading biotechnology event. Save the date here.
