'Science to Market': a New Forum for Pharmaceutical Biotechnology.HANNOVER, Germany -- 16th International Trade Fair, Conferences, Partnering and Award for Biotechnology BIOTECHNICA 2008 has a new forum for pharmaceutical biotechnology. For the first time, the European Association of Pharma Biotechnology (EAPB) - in cooperation with the science congress European BioPerspectives - will be hosting the conference "Science to Market". The aim of this European event is to promote partnerships between science and industry in the field of pharmaceutical biotechnology in order to drive forward the ongoing development of marketable technologies and biopharmaceutical products. The two-day conference will focus on developments relating to relating to relate prep → concernant relating to relate prep → bezüglich +gen, mit Bezug auf +acc new biopharmaceutical drugs and diagnostic methods and on innovative technologies used in the development and manufacture of biopharmaceutical products. Subjects under discussion will include second-generation biopharmaceuticals, new vaccines, advances in gene therapy, drug formats and methods for improving the manufacture and analysis of today's biopharmaceuticals. The program will be rounded off by distinguished keynote speakers: Andreas Pluckthun, University of Zurich History The University of Zurich was founded in 1833 with existing colleges of theology (founded by Huldrych Zwingli in 1525), law and medicine merged together with a new faculty of Philosophy. , will report on "Rational protein design - In vitro in vitro /in vi·tro/ (in ve´tro) [L.] within a glass; observable in a test tube; in an artificial environment. in vi·tro adj.

It embraces every segment of biotechnology - from basic biotechnology and equipment, bio-informatics and services to the five major areas of application: pharmaceuticals/medicine, industry, food, agriculture, the chemical industry and the environment. BIOTECHNICA has been organized by Deutsche Messe AG at the Hannover Exhibition Grounds since 1985. Today, BIOTECHNICA events - BIOTECH CHINA in Asia and BIOTECHNICA AMERICA in the USA - are also held across the globe.
