EBD Group today announced that the Alliance for Advanced Therapies (AAT) will launch at the BIO-Europe Spring® 2012 partnering event, held in Amsterdam March 19"´21, 2012 at the Amsterdam RAI Convention Center. The Alliance for Advanced Therapies is a new organization devoted to supporting cell therapy, regenerative medicine and other potentially life-saving advanced therapeutics in Europe. As the European Chapter of the global Alliance for Regenerative Medicine, the AAT will use the large presence of dealmakers and decision makers from the global life science industry at BIO-Europe Spring to help springboard support for emerging therapies in Europe.
The launch of AAT will be marked by a State of the Industry presentation by Eduardo Bravo, CEO of TiGenix and Michael Hunt, CEO of ReNeuron on March 21, 15:30 CET.
The launch is a prelude to the Advanced Therapies Summit 2012, in Amsterdam on March 22, following BIO-Europe Spring 2012 (separate registration needed). The Advanced Therapies Summit brings together a large number of executives from big pharma, smaller companies, academic institutes and other organizations involved in advanced therapies from the US and Europe. The summit will address the most important topics on the path of commercialization of advanced therapies with discussion leaders from companies like Aldagen, Athersys, J&J, Organovo, Pfizer, Reneuron, Shire and TiGenix.
"Advanced therapies, such as regenerative medicine or cell therapy, have the power to transform healthcare with breakthrough therapies where conventional approaches do not provide adequate solutions. It is vital that this sector gains the financial, scientific, political and regulatory support to deliver on the promise of this next wave of the biotech industry," said Rob Janssen, Secretary-General of the AAT. "The AAT will be a vital and credible champion for this rowing sector in Europe, and worldwide through the Alliance for Regenerative Medicine."
