Stem Cell Summit Expands Line-Up Of Presenting Companies

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- RRY Publications today announced the expansion of the line-up of presenters at the 2nd Annual Stem Cell Summit, which will take place Feb. 12-13, 2007, in San Diego.

The additions include Geron, Aldagen, Atherys, MaxCyte, ReNeuron and Stem Cell Therapeutics. With these additions, the first day of the conference will consist of a full slate of presentations from top executives of companies focused on the development of stem-cell-based products.

“We’re talking about the largest gathering of executives with stem cell companies along with scientists, investors and physicians,” said Robin Young, president of Philadelphia-based RRY Publications, producer of the Stem Cell Summit and publisher of Stem Cell Market Forecast and Analysis 2005-2015. “While other events focus on research, the Stem Cell Summit will focus on products that are on the market or expected to enter the market in the very near future. Stem cells are real products today, not science fiction.”

In addition to the company and product overviews, the conference will feature presentations on the latest scientific developments and host the first live stem cell surgery in which attendees can ask questions in real-time as surgeons use a stem-cell-based product in the operating room.

In March 2006, the 1st Annual Stem Cell Summit attracted more than 175 participants. The 2nd Annual Stem Cell Summit is on track to host more than 300 participants from locations around the world.
