'All-Star' Analyst Craig Parker of DLJ To Keynote Seventh Informed Investors SF Bay Biotech Stocks Forum July 24.BERKELEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 25, 1999-- Will the 1990s end as the "Bio-Bust Decade" or will a late flurry on the upside propel this long-maligned sector back into favor? Even with recent strength, is this a "Bio-Bubble" or the beginning of a real advance? Investors interested in the biosciences will get a full current look at the sector at the Seventh Informed Investors SF Bay Biotechnology Stocks Forum Saturday morning July 24 at the Marina Radisson in Berkeley. The Forum runs from 8:30-1 p.m. Cost is $25 prepaid, $40 at the door. Register at www.informedinvestors.com or call 800/992-4683. "The biotech sector requires careful scrutiny because it's difficult to separate the risks from the rewards," said Tim Quast, President of Informed Investors Forum, organizer of the conference. "This is a key Forum among the ten or so biotech events we do each year because it precurses the autumn conference season when many companies make announcements. The sector's brimming with exciting developments that have been overshadowed by investor-obsession with Internet stocks."

Senior management from biotech companies will update investors as well.
