The International Conference at Bangalore Bio 2009 was a successful mix of dissemination of new and advanced technologies and quality interaction.
_____________________________________________________________________________
'Biotechnology beyond boundaries - the promise of India', was the focal theme of Bangalore Bio 2009
_____________________________________________________________________________
The Conference was addressed by over 100 thought leaders from the various streams of Biotechnology from across India and Globally.
_____________________________________________________________________________
The Conference saw the participation of over 600 delegates with packed sessions and the deliberations between Speakers and Delegates were intense. All in all, the atmosphere across the Conference was refreshingly lively and energetic.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Delegates attended from Industry, Government, Investment and Research. There was a significantly large number of International participants both as Speakers and delegates this year.
_____________________________________________________________________________
The 5 focused tracks gave a clear direction to the delegates as to what topics were discussed and within each track the 22 Sessions provided further depth of information and focused deliberations.
_____________________________________________________________________________
The keynote address was given by the Nobel Laureate, Dr Richard J. Roberts, who spoke about “How to support basic research from a for-profit commercial business".
_____________________________________________________________________________
Some of the other Sessions were:
Beyond Services: Innovation led Biopharmaceuticals and Novel Vaccines for Vaccines brought home the fact that Entrepreneurship in Indian Biotech is the path to growth of Biopharma sector. Indian biotechs will eventually become less reliant on outside investors, and more innovative in producing their own blockbuster drugs.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Medical Devices and Cost Effective Diagnostics included presentations on new technological developments and cost effectiveness in drug delivery systems and of diagnostics tools for the benefit of the masses. The role of Government as the driving force in affordable medicine was also discussed.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Disposables, Plant Design and GMP Considerations for Building Tomorrows Manufacturing Facility, was the most action packed session, with a dynamic Chair who created maximum opportunity for the delegates to engage in challenging interaction and dialogue with the Panel of Speakers.
_____________________________________________________________________________
The Industrial Biotech Sessions drew huge crowds and we had to reallocate the session to a larger hall. The presentations made on Biomaterials and Biofuels were excellent and some of the Concepts presented can forge a blue print for the sector of renewable energy development in India in this sector.
_____________________________________________________________________________
IP Management, Licensing and Valuation session discussed how "If you want to develop pharmaceuticals, you have to have strong intellectual protection," And how to go about it.
_____________________________________________________________________________
The Conference addressed both Technical and Policy issues and stressed the need for a surge in development in the areas of Pharmabiotechnology and Industrial biotechnology as a means to solve many of the challenges faced by Society.
