Directions (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001vRk5pt_7Lhvknc9n8CKDjoN59-pgbdFmAmJLP9WmGYhFr0ctOzwOHfJ6_vXVMoWKlTPNFmFZgEd298va_Tbxz8CD4EaIYMDjnUor_7zH9T0K8QJa-1ZMxeMdJr6vK0GRPdgHciMpJdrdTwMpUbwdfMW-u0rgnQHZ)

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND Stem
cells are how we all begin: Undifferentiated cells that go on to develop into any of the more than 200 types of cells the adult human body holds. Modern Biotech explores how to use this incredible ability to treat
conditions like cancer, Alzheimer's and
Parkinson's disease
and even paralysis. The stem cell market has grown from zero to $87 million in less than three years, and analysts at the year's Stem Cell Summit were bullishly forecasting its growth to $8.5 billion over the next decade.

Application of stem cell research and
regenerative medicine is multiple faceted and the spectrum of applications include:

• Pharmaceutical companies utilize stem cells in drug discovery and toxicity testing
• Medical device industry develop new methods for bone marrow extraction
• Bioaesthetics use the cells for e.g. skin rejuvenation and hair regeneration
• Tissue engineering to solve medical needs

Agenda:

• 6:00 - 7:00 pm Registration / Networking
• 7:00 - 8:30 pm Program
• 8:30 - 9:00 pm Q&A session

Complimentary appetizers, beer, wine and soft drinks will be served.
