The Translational Medicine Alliance is proud to announce the second annual Forum will be held May 13-15, 2009 in Philadelphia, PA. The Forum joins the world's most promising university medical commercialization opportunities with the industry's top disease foundations, corporations and investors, developing a more effective model to enable translational medicine.

Join your colleagues and develop commercialization partnerships, discover novel translational research approaches and exchange ideas with leaders from the major medical philanthropies, federal research and regulatory groups, pharmaceutical and biotech companies, venture funds and the top medical research institutions.

The Translational Medicine Alliance Forum presents the best ideas of thought leaders from all translational disciplines and develops more effective models to support and advance the most promising technologies through exciting, interactive sessions and exclusive partnering opportunities.

In collaboration with the Kauffman Foundation, the Forum's organizers developed a conference report of findings and action items for moving forward from our inaugural event in 2007. We hope you will download the Translational Medicine Forum 2007 White Paper and read more about our first event, formerly the TransMed Partnership Forum, in GEN -- Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News (November 1, 2007 - Vol. 27, No. 19).
