French Biotech Tour California
March 15th-17th, 2010
UBIFRANCE is organizing a free event for Biotech companies specializing in the development of diagnostics and therapeutics for infectious diseases (small molecules, biologics and vaccines). The goal of the event is to increase collaboration between France and the United States.
*****Companies and organizations such as Sanofi-Aventis, Sanofi-Pasteur, Novartis, Merck, KKC, Advaxis, Sorrento Therapeutics, Vical and the Salk Institute will be present and participating*****
In addition to being a great networking opportunity, we are encouraging one-on-one meetings to increase international collaboration efforts, another free service, which companies can sign up for online via the link below (see "Participating Companies" and "Register" tabs). We would also like to invite companies to sign up to give presentations for the seminar (limited slots available). The FBT will be in San Diego on March 15th and in San Francisco on March 17th.
Both of the events promise to be high quality as we will have capacity for only the first 100 people to register at each venue.

Those who plan to attend must register as we plan to keep the event relatively small to maintain the quality of the event.
Additionally, we would like to introduce "FABS", a scientific seminar focused on infectious diseases at the Salk Institute in La Jolla on March 16th. Several prestigious French and American members of the scientific community will be sharing their findings and taking part in panel discussions.

Biotech Conference
Wednesday, February 10, 2010
'Challenges and opportunities in Personalized Medicine'
On Wednesday, February 10, 2010 the French-American Chamber of Commerce held its first biotech conference. This conference is a part of the Biotech Series, a new initiative aimed at strengthening French-American relationships in the biotech sector.
Held at Stoel Rives LLP, the event featured moderator Richard Mitchell (FHCRC), as well as five panelists; Paul Yager (UW), Wylie Burke (UW), Howard Coleman (Genelex Corporation), Bassem Bejjani (Signature Genomics) and Sam Webb (Stoel Rives LLP).
After enjoying the panel discussion, guests went on to enjoy a networking reception featuring delicious French cheese and wine. The evening proved a great success for the FACC, and has inspired much confidence in future biotech events.
The FACC hopes that all our guests had a great time; the next biotech conference is due to take place in a couple of months on the subject of medical imagery. We hope to see you there!
