Pharma Business Strategies for Biomarkers |
| Dec 11-12, 2008 at InterContinental Mark Hopkins San Francisco, San Francisco California United States |
| Biomarkers are hot xe2x80x93 central to the new pharma business strategies. With attrition rates higher and trials ever more expensive, drug companies are insisting on development biomarkers. And Big Pharmaxe2x80x99s sharpening focus on high-value specialty products means drugs targeted with biomarkers to particular patient groups are increasingly attractive. But biomarker strategies are far from straightforward. Getting biomarkers approved for particular drugs can add time and cost; biomarker work paid for by pioneer drugs can be exploited by follow-ons xe2x80x93 to the pioneerxe2x80x99s competitive disadvantage. And dealmakers are only beginning to figure out the governance and financing rules of biomarker development. With in-depth case studies and interactive panels of experts, Windhoverxe2x80x99s groundbreaking Pharma Business Strategies for Biomarkers will probe the strategies, dealmaking and economics of building biopharma businesses in the era of biomarkers.

Mouse Models of Cancer |
| Jan 12-15, 2009 at Hyatt Regency San Francisco, San Francisco California United States |
| Mouse models of cancer provide us with the ability to learn about tumor biology in complicated and dynamic physiological systems. Previous efforts to model cancer in the mouse have produced fundamental insights into various aspects of cancer, including the action of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, the biology of tumor-host cell interactions, the factors that influence cellular responsiveness to chemotherapeutic agents, and the role of stem cells during cancer development and progression. Moving forward, it seems likely that genetically engineered mice will become even more elegant and powerful tools for studying various aspects of cancer biology, particularly those that can only be examined in the context of an in vivo microenvironment. Moreover, owing to information obtained from the cancer genome atlas project, genetically engineered mice will likely take an even more prominent role in cancer gene identification and validation. Finally, these models will become increasingly important for identifying and validating new drug targets, and as advanced preclinical test systems for new drugs or drug combinations to combat cancer. |

Mouse Models of Cancer |
| Jan 12-15, 2009 at Hyatt Regency San Francisco, San Francisco California United States |
| Mouse models of cancer provide us with the ability to learn about tumor biology in complicated and dynamic physiological systems. Previous efforts to model cancer in the mouse have produced fundamental insights into various aspects of cancer, including the action of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, the biology of tumor-host cell interactions, the factors that influence cellular responsiveness to chemotherapeutic agents, and the role of stem cells during cancer development and progression. Moving forward, it seems likely that genetically engineered mice will become even more elegant and powerful tools for studying various aspects of cancer biology, particularly those that can only be examined in the context of an in vivo microenvironment. Moreover, owing to information obtained from the cancer genome atlas project, genetically engineered mice will likely take an even more prominent role in cancer gene identification and validation. Finally, these models will become increasingly important for identifying and validating new drug targets, and as advanced preclinical test systems for new drugs or drug combinations to combat cancer. |

Moreover, owing to information obtained from the cancer genome atlas project, genetically engineered mice will likely take an even more prominent role in cancer gene identification and validation. Finally, these models will become increasingly important for identifying and validating new drug targets, and as advanced preclinical test systems for new drugs or drug combinations to combat cancer. |

Mouse Models of Cancer |
| Jan 12-15, 2009 at Hyatt Regency San Francisco, San Francisco California United States |
| Mouse models of cancer provide us with the ability to learn about tumor biology in complicated and dynamic physiological systems.

Pharma Business Strategies for Biomarkers |
| Dec 11-12, 2008 at InterContinental Mark Hopkins San Francisco, San Francisco California United States |
| Biomarkers are hot xe2x80x93 central to the new pharma business strategies. With attrition rates higher and trials ever more expensive, drug companies are insisting on development biomarkers. And Big Pharmaxe2x80x99s sharpening focus on high-value specialty products means drugs targeted with biomarkers to particular patient groups are increasingly attractive. But biomarker strategies are far from straightforward. Getting biomarkers approved for particular drugs can add time and cost; biomarker work paid for by pioneer drugs can be exploited by follow-ons xe2x80x93 to the pioneerxe2x80x99s competitive disadvantage. And dealmakers are only beginning to figure out the governance and financing rules of biomarker development. With in-depth case studies and interactive panels of experts, Windhoverxe2x80x99s groundbreaking Pharma Business Strategies for Biomarkers will probe the strategies, dealmaking and economics of building biopharma businesses in the era of biomarkers.

Mouse Models of Cancer |
| Jan 12-15, 2009 at Hyatt Regency San Francisco, San Francisco California United States |
| Mouse models of cancer provide us with the ability to learn about tumor biology in complicated and dynamic physiological systems. Previous efforts to model cancer in the mouse have produced fundamental insights into various aspects of cancer, including the action of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, the biology of tumor-host cell interactions, the factors that influence cellular responsiveness to chemotherapeutic agents, and the role of stem cells during cancer development and progression. Moving forward, it seems likely that genetically engineered mice will become even more elegant and powerful tools for studying various aspects of cancer biology, particularly those that can only be examined in the context of an in vivo microenvironment. Moreover, owing to information obtained from the cancer genome atlas project, genetically engineered mice will likely take an even more prominent role in cancer gene identification and validation. Finally, these models will become increasingly important for identifying and validating new drug targets, and as advanced preclinical test systems for new drugs or drug combinations to combat cancer. |

Pharma Business Strategies for Biomarkers |
| Dec 11-12, 2008 at InterContinental Mark Hopkins San Francisco, San Francisco California United States |
| Biomarkers are hot xe2x80x93 central to the new pharma business strategies. With attrition rates higher and trials ever more expensive, drug companies are insisting on development biomarkers. And Big Pharmaxe2x80x99s sharpening focus on high-value specialty products means drugs targeted with biomarkers to particular patient groups are increasingly attractive. But biomarker strategies are far from straightforward. Getting biomarkers approved for particular drugs can add time and cost; biomarker work paid for by pioneer drugs can be exploited by follow-ons xe2x80x93 to the pioneerxe2x80x99s competitive disadvantage. And dealmakers are only beginning to figure out the governance and financing rules of biomarker development. With in-depth case studies and interactive panels of experts, Windhoverxe2x80x99s groundbreaking Pharma Business Strategies for Biomarkers will probe the strategies, dealmaking and economics of building biopharma businesses in the era of biomarkers.

Mouse Models of Cancer |
| Jan 12-15, 2009 at Hyatt Regency San Francisco, San Francisco California United States |
| Mouse models of cancer provide us with the ability to learn about tumor biology in complicated and dynamic physiological systems. Previous efforts to model cancer in the mouse have produced fundamental insights into various aspects of cancer, including the action of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, the biology of tumor-host cell interactions, the factors that influence cellular responsiveness to chemotherapeutic agents, and the role of stem cells during cancer development and progression. Moving forward, it seems likely that genetically engineered mice will become even more elegant and powerful tools for studying various aspects of cancer biology, particularly those that can only be examined in the context of an in vivo microenvironment. Moreover, owing to information obtained from the cancer genome atlas project, genetically engineered mice will likely take an even more prominent role in cancer gene identification and validation. Finally, these models will become increasingly important for identifying and validating new drug targets, and as advanced preclinical test systems for new drugs or drug combinations to combat cancer. |

Pharma Business Strategies for Biomarkers |
| Dec 11-12, 2008 at InterContinental Mark Hopkins San Francisco, San Francisco California United States |
| Biomarkers are hot xe2x80x93 central to the new pharma business strategies. With attrition rates higher and trials ever more expensive, drug companies are insisting on development biomarkers. And Big Pharmaxe2x80x99s sharpening focus on high-value specialty products means drugs targeted with biomarkers to particular patient groups are increasingly attractive. But biomarker strategies are far from straightforward. Getting biomarkers approved for particular drugs can add time and cost; biomarker work paid for by pioneer drugs can be exploited by follow-ons xe2x80x93 to the pioneerxe2x80x99s competitive disadvantage. And dealmakers are only beginning to figure out the governance and financing rules of biomarker development. With in-depth case studies and interactive panels of experts, Windhoverxe2x80x99s groundbreaking Pharma Business Strategies for Biomarkers will probe the strategies, dealmaking and economics of building biopharma businesses in the era of biomarkers. Why should you participate in Windhoverxe2x80x99s Pharma Business Strategies for Biomarkers?

Mouse Models of Cancer |
| Jan 12-15, 2009 at Hyatt Regency San Francisco, San Francisco California United States |
| Mouse models of cancer provide us with the ability to learn about tumor biology in complicated and dynamic physiological systems. Previous efforts to model cancer in the mouse have produced fundamental insights into various aspects of cancer, including the action of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, the biology of tumor-host cell interactions, the factors that influence cellular responsiveness to chemotherapeutic agents, and the role of stem cells during cancer development and progression. Moving forward, it seems likely that genetically engineered mice will become even more elegant and powerful tools for studying various aspects of cancer biology, particularly those that can only be examined in the context of an in vivo microenvironment. Moreover, owing to information obtained from the cancer genome atlas project, genetically engineered mice will likely take an even more prominent role in cancer gene identification and validation. Finally, these models will become increasingly important for identifying and validating new drug targets, and as advanced preclinical test systems for new drugs or drug combinations to combat cancer. |

Mouse Models of Cancer |
| Jan 12-15, 2009 at Hyatt Regency San Francisco, San Francisco California United States |
| Mouse models of cancer provide us with the ability to learn about tumor biology in complicated and dynamic physiological systems. Previous efforts to model cancer in the mouse have produced fundamental insights into various aspects of cancer, including the action of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, the biology of tumor-host cell interactions, the factors that influence cellular responsiveness to chemotherapeutic agents, and the role of stem cells during cancer development and progression. Moving forward, it seems likely that genetically engineered mice will become even more elegant and powerful tools for studying various aspects of cancer biology, particularly those that can only be examined in the context of an in vivo microenvironment. Moreover, owing to information obtained from the cancer genome atlas project, genetically engineered mice will likely take an even more prominent role in cancer gene identification and validation. Finally, these models will become increasingly important for identifying and validating new drug targets, and as advanced preclinical test systems for new drugs or drug combinations to combat cancer. |

Mouse Models of Cancer |
| Jan 12-15, 2009 at Hyatt Regency San Francisco, San Francisco California United States |
| Mouse models of cancer provide us with the ability to learn about tumor biology in complicated and dynamic physiological systems. Previous efforts to model cancer in the mouse have produced fundamental insights into various aspects of cancer, including the action of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, the biology of tumor-host cell interactions, the factors that influence cellular responsiveness to chemotherapeutic agents, and the role of stem cells during cancer development and progression. Moving forward, it seems likely that genetically engineered mice will become even more elegant and powerful tools for studying various aspects of cancer biology, particularly those that can only be examined in the context of an in vivo microenvironment. Moreover, owing to information obtained from the cancer genome atlas project, genetically engineered mice will likely take an even more prominent role in cancer gene identification and validation. Finally, these models will become increasingly important for identifying and validating new drug targets, and as advanced preclinical test systems for new drugs or drug combinations to combat cancer. |

Mouse Models of Cancer |
| Jan 12-15, 2009 at Hyatt Regency San Francisco, San Francisco California United States |
| Mouse models of cancer provide us with the ability to learn about tumor biology in complicated and dynamic physiological systems. Previous efforts to model cancer in the mouse have produced fundamental insights into various aspects of cancer, including the action of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, the biology of tumor-host cell interactions, the factors that influence cellular responsiveness to chemotherapeutic agents, and the role of stem cells during cancer development and progression. Moving forward, it seems likely that genetically engineered mice will become even more elegant and powerful tools for studying various aspects of cancer biology, particularly those that can only be examined in the context of an in vivo microenvironment. Moreover, owing to information obtained from the cancer genome atlas project, genetically engineered mice will likely take an even more prominent role in cancer gene identification and validation. Finally, these models will become increasingly important for identifying and validating new drug targets, and as advanced preclinical test systems for new drugs or drug combinations to combat cancer. |

| Dec 11-12, 2008 at InterContinental Mark Hopkins San Francisco, San Francisco California United States |
| Biomarkers are hot xe2x80x93 central to the new pharma business strategies. With attrition rates higher and trials ever more expensive, drug companies are insisting on development biomarkers. And Big Pharmaxe2x80x99s sharpening focus on high-value specialty products means drugs targeted with biomarkers to particular patient groups are increasingly attractive. But biomarker strategies are far from straightforward. Getting biomarkers approved for particular drugs can add time and cost; biomarker work paid for by pioneer drugs can be exploited by follow-ons xe2x80x93 to the pioneerxe2x80x99s competitive disadvantage. And dealmakers are only beginning to figure out the governance and financing rules of biomarker development. With in-depth case studies and interactive panels of experts, Windhoverxe2x80x99s groundbreaking Pharma Business Strategies for Biomarkers will probe the strategies, dealmaking and economics of building biopharma businesses in the era of biomarkers. Why should you participate in Windhoverxe2x80x99s Pharma Business Strategies for Biomarkers?

Mouse Models of Cancer |
| Jan 12-15, 2009 at Hyatt Regency San Francisco, San Francisco California United States |
| Mouse models of cancer provide us with the ability to learn about tumor biology in complicated and dynamic physiological systems. Previous efforts to model cancer in the mouse have produced fundamental insights into various aspects of cancer, including the action of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, the biology of tumor-host cell interactions, the factors that influence cellular responsiveness to chemotherapeutic agents, and the role of stem cells during cancer development and progression. Moving forward, it seems likely that genetically engineered mice will become even more elegant and powerful tools for studying various aspects of cancer biology, particularly those that can only be examined in the context of an in vivo microenvironment. Moreover, owing to information obtained from the cancer genome atlas project, genetically engineered mice will likely take an even more prominent role in cancer gene identification and validation. Finally, these models will become increasingly important for identi |
