“I am delighted to invite esteemed members of the biotechnology world to Bio-Tech Israel 2004 in May,” stated Professor Michael Sela, Chairperson of the Bio-Tech Israel 2004 Conference. “Notwithstanding the obvious difficulties, the Israeli biotechnology community is witness to a steady progress, and this demands a forum where scientists in the various biotechnology areas can meet with entrepreneurs, physicians, legal and patent advisors, as well as regulators and corporate executives. The constructive dialogue is needed more than ever, resulting, hopefully, in a dynamic flow and exchange among conference participants.”
The conference will include four plenary lectures, three by visiting scientific business leaders and one by a leading Israeli industrialist.
