We are pleased to remind you that a Life Science Conference dedicated to new cross atlantic business opportunities will be held on January 26th 2010 at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla.

We will briefly present the major points addressed by the new European REACH regulations.

REACH is the Regulation on Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals. It entered into force on 1st June 2007. It streamlines and improves the former legislative framework on chemicals of the European Union (EU).

This will be followed by a report on the new business opportunities in toxicology with new developments in predictive toxicology in particular.

The program will include company presentations and a round table with experts from the Provence-Côte d’Azur region.

* Laetitia Mateo, CEO Sigentec
“REACH regulation and genotoxicity conformity tests”

* Anne de Brugerolle, Executive Director Skinethic
“Tissue engineering for in vitro human skin and epithelial models”

* Nathalie Compagnone, CEO ICDD
“Predict drug clinical tolerance with innovative tests”

* Stéphane Lucchini, Business Manager Biovays
“Innovating forward : biomarker analysis for predictive toxicology”

Representatives from two Development Agencies from the South of France will be attending:

* Céline Jacquet, Business Unit Manager, Team Côte d’Azur
* Matthieu Vis, Business Development Manager, Provence Promotion

* Didier Bagnol, Associate Director of Preclinical Drug Development in Metabolic Disorders at Arena Pharmaceuticals Inc will act as moderator.

The event will be an excellent opportunity to share expertise and innovative research solutions in toxicology for the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries with specialists from this French Mediterranean area.

As usual, we invite you to come networking with your fellows from the San Diego Biotech community while enjoying French delicacies (catered by French Gourmet) and some “bubbles” in a friendly business casual atmosphere.

Don’t wait & register now.
