Upcoming Events2008 BIO ANNUAL CONVENTION - Recent News & Events 2007 LGTRC RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM The Louisiana Gene Therapy Research Symposium held
its third annual Research Symposium at the Manship Theatre in Baton
Rouge. The keynote speaker for the event was C.
Thomas Caskey, MD, the Director and Chief Executive Officer
of the Brown Foundation Institute of Molecular Medicine at the University
of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. He spoke on the
issues facing gene therapy research and discussed the road to developing
effective therapeutics. BIO ANNUAL CONVENTION 2007 Thanks to all who visited us again this year at the Louisiana Gene Therapy Research Consortium booth in the Louisiana Pavilion at the BIO Annual Convention held in Boston. With over 22,000 visitors and the largest gathering of biotech exhibitors in history, with more than 1,900 companies and 60 domestic, country and regional pavilions representing every aspect of the biotechnology industry, we were pleased that so many of you enjoyed meeting us and our mascot "Gene" at our booth. 2006 LGTRC RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM The Louisiana Gene Therapy Research Symposium held its second annual Research Symposium at the Manship Theatre in Baton Rouge. The keynote speaker for the event was Molly Corbett Broad, President Emerita of the University of North Carolina System. This Symposium is the Louisiana Gene Therapy Research Consortium's premier event bringing together world-renowned scientists at the frontier of gene and adult stem cell research to explore the challenge and promise of gene therapy research and the compelling potential of emerging therapies.

BIO ANNUAL CONVENTION 2005 Thanks to all who visited with the Louisiana Gene Therapy Research Consortium Team at the BIO ANNUAL CONVENTION 2005 in Philadelphia. The event had a record attendence of 18,000. We enjoyed meeting all who stopped at our booth to discuss our upcoming clinical manufacturing facility. FIRST ANNUAL RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM The Louisiana Gene Therapy Research Consortium held its First Annual Research Symposium on May 2, 2004 at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge. Particpants from LSUHSC-New Orleans, LSUHSC-Shreveport, and Tulane University HSC enjoyed seventeen research presentations and over 60 poster presentations discussing recent research and development in gene-based and cell-based medicine. State-of-the-art research in vector development and adult stem cell biology was presented with emphasis on the use of these technologies for the prevention or treatment of multiple conditions including cancer, spinal cord injury, neurological disease, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, and infectious diseases including HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis. [Program abstracts and poster summaries are available as a PDF here.] 4th Annual Conference on Mesenchymal and Nonhematopoietic
Stem Cells Hosted by Tulane Center for Gene Therapy, the meeting will began with a keynote address by Dr. David Scadden, a world leader in stem cell biology. There were two days of symposia comprised of invited speakers and selected abstracts. Topics ranged from fundamental stem cell biology to preclinical models and clinical trials. Workshops addressed the most important obstacles to the clinical applications of nonhematopoietic cellular therapy. For more information visit the New Orleans MSC Meeting web site.
