Since 1994 PPTA’s Congresses have provided valuable insights into the issues affecting the plasma protein industry.

IPPC has been the primary international congress for all stakeholders of plasma protein therapies. Building on the experience and success of the past but with a clear eye to the future, the IPPC 2010 offers delegates a unique, two-day programme with speakers of the highest calibre, representing institutions and organizations that provide leadership and direction in several important areas.

Sessions will feature topics such as clinical developments, patient access, self-sufficiency, regulatory considerations, plasma collection, health policy and much more. There will be ample time for discussion and questions after the presentations and during the cocktail buffet reception on 16 March which will complement the full and diverse programme.

The interests of patients and physicians are everyone’s number one priority, be they politicians, regulators, scientists, healthcare funding organizations and for those working in the industry.  Our intention is to create a congress for all.

Established among biotech practitioners as the market leading event, C5’s Biotech Patenting Conference is the one place biotech patent practitioners come to learn and discuss the most recent and vital changes facing the industry today.

Intellectual property is central to the biotechnology industry. High R&D costs and the lengthy product testing times that are required before a biotech product can enter the market make it particularly important for companies to be able to reap the full benefit and duration afforded by patent protection before generic producers enter the market.
At the same time, maximising protection and value of your company’s biotechnology has become more and more complex as patent law continually evolves to keep pace with the rapid developments in biotechnology innovation. Ground-breaking case law decisions, legislative developments and evolving standards of the EPO and national patent offices mean that the rules of the game for qualifying for and defining the scope of your biotechnology patent are changing constantly and rapidly.

In this fast changing high stakes industry it is imperative to have an up-to-the-minute in-depth understanding of the decisions of the European and US courts and the very latest policies and practice of the EPO and USPTO.

In response to this, C5 has specifically designed its Biotech Patenting conference to provide you with a sophisticated and comprehensive understanding of the issues you face today.

The 18th C5 Forum on Biotech Patenting brings together a panel of experts comprising regulators, in-house counsel and their advisors, to provide you with an essential briefing and update on the state of biotech patenting today. By attending, you will:

• Follow a lively debate on the latest strategies for adapting your patent practice to EPO rule changes
• Hear directly from the EPO on patentability, their latest requirements and key policy changes
• Find out about disclosure requirements for gene patents: from T 1329/04 to Eli Lily vs HGS – what is patentable?
• Identify what the Enlarged Board’s Decision on Second Medical Use Claims means for your claims drafting
• Maximise your patent protection with a critical review of recent developments and decisions on the availability of SPCs
• Improve your claims drafting to meet heightened patentability requirements for antibodies
• Master the ethical minefield: defining “embryonic stem cells” within Europe’s borders

The regulation of gene expression has been studied traditionally at the level of transcription. While a few examples of translational regulation were known, they were considered interesting exceptions to the general rule of regulation at the level of RNA synthesis. However, over the last few years it has become evident that several widespread posttranscriptional, mostly cytoplasmic mechanisms have profound effects on gene expression. All of these mechanisms ultimately contribute to control protein synthesis, either directly, by affecting the rate of translation, or indirectly, by affecting the abundance of mRNA. Some of them exert a qualitative, all-or-none control, for example by complete repression or elimination of certain mRNAs, others determine the intracellular location or the cell-type in which a particular RNA is translated, and still others have a quantitative effect, controlling the amount of protein made from a certain mRNA. The analysis of some of the most exciting aspects of these cytoplasmic mechanisms of gene regulation is a major focus of this meeting.

Welcome to Germany in 2010!

On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee it is my pleasure to invite you to participate in the 6^th World Congress on Prevention of Diabetes and its Complications (WCPD 2010), to be held in Dresden, Germany on April 8-11, 2010.

We know that diabetes prevention is effective but diabetes prevention presents many different faces creating unknown challenges, such as medical and psychological, but also shows political, economical, social and environmental expressions. Currently we know numerous diabetes prevention concepts which can be implemented into clinical practice in various countries worldwide, but we lack the exchange of their ideas, experiences and often problems with management.

The 6^th WCPD provides a great opportunity to enable a more effective communication between all people interested in diabetes prevention and its management. Here we have the opportunity to learn from the experiences of others especially discussing barriers encountered during prevention programme implementation. Our aim is to have the translation of what we have learned in Science into practical skills of prevention. We want to encourage the adoption of best practices in diabetes prevention involving a good partnership between all relevant players. Effective primary prevention is essential to reduce the epidemic of type 2 diabetes throughout the world. To achieve this, action is needed not only in the field of policy making but also in the development of targeted intervention programmes which address the needs of people with an increased risk of diabetes, clinical- and community-based healthcare professionals and the general population.
In addition we have included other issues such as city planning aspects, funding opportunities and support for policy development because they affect the efficiency and efficacy of diabetes prevention programmes.

C5’s Advanced Conference on ITAR Compliance in Europe is The must-attend event for Export Controls and Compliance Officers of multinational companies involved in buying, retransferring and re-exporting International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”)-controlled items or technical data. Last June 2009, your colleagues have attended our successful event in Munich to network and hear from the leading export compliance officers, legal experts and ITAR export controls regulators on best risks management strategies and the latest enforcement actions.

European companies must ensure that their import/export practices and global supply chains are compliant with a complex set of U.S. export controls regulations, EU export controls Law and national export controls laws. Violations of ITAR can result in severe civil, criminal penalties and in probationary or suspension order affecting export privileges under the ITAR and other national export controls systems.

Implementing and maintaining effective internal compliance systems are companies’ first defence. They will help to detect and prevent even any inadvertent violation across the organisation. In this current economic climate, companies can not afford costly penalties which can be avoided through proactive and adequate internal controls.

Don’t miss the 2010’s advanced conference which will not only provide attendees with an update on ITAR regulatory and enforcement developments but also, organise forums to share best practices and practical recommendations through real-life scenario and case studies based on daily challenging situations.

Chemical Biology is a quickly growing highly interdisciplinary field, which was born out of the biologist`s and chemist`s common interest in chemical strategies to investigate biological questions, and has emerged to become an important and central discipline by itself. Researchers in Chemical Biology find themselves at home in both classical disciplines and make use of experimental tools that both have to offer.

The conference Chemical Biology 2008 was held at EMBL Heidelberg for the first time in October 2008. With about 30 invited speakers, 20 oral presentations chosen from the abstracts, 150 posters and 250 participants, this event was an initial success. The excellent participation demonstrated the need for such an event. The organizers therefore decided to offer Chemical Biology conferences at EMBL in bi-annual intervals.

The series aims to give an overview on the current status of the highly interdisciplinary field and an outlook to where the field is heading. The conference will provide a unique opportunity for scientists using diverse research approaches and methods to come together and to network. It is structured to enhance exchange and discussions between researchers, for the benefit of their own research as well as for the progress of the field.

The conference will cover a broad area of approaches and methods used in Chemical Biology including molecular imaging and switching tools, computational and structural approaches, screening methods, molecular engineering, and novel synthetic methods as applied to biological questions.
