The second annual Translational Medicine Alliance Forum drew interest from a diverse mix of organizations and leaders interested in moving medical discoveries from the lab to the market. Founded by the Kauffman Innovation Network and the Translational Medicine Alliance, the 2009 Forum took place May 13-15 in Philadelphia.
The primary goal of the Translational Medicine Alliance Forum 2009 was to understand effective models to enable translational medicine by connecting leading investigators and entrepreneurs with collaborators from the philanthropic, investment and corporate communities. Attendees met with numerous organizations funding translational programs, develop commercial, clinical and R&D partnerships, discover novel translational research approaches and exchange ideas with leaders from the major medical philanthropies, federal research/regulatory groups, pharmaceutical and biotech companies, venture funds and the top medical research institutions.
