Nanomedicine Award: winners of the best international nanomedicine innovation 2013

The call for applications ended on September 7th gathering overall 23 candidatures coming from all over the world: from Europe but also from Australia and the US. Gathering academia and SMEs, and covering all three fields of diagnostics and imaging, therapeutics and regenerative medicine, this first edition is seen as a success holding great promises for the coming years.

The Award winners will be officially announced during the Nanomedicine Panel Session at BIO-Europe® 2103 in Vienna on 4th November. Projects have since been reviewed and assessed by a panel of highly-qualified pharma industry specialists with experience in R&D and commercial roles: Laurent Levy, Nanobiotix; Neil Desai, Celgene; Mike Eaton, consultant; Patrick Tricoli, Sanofi; Karen Zinkevich-Peotti, Ipsen and Thorsten Melcher, Johnson & Johnson Innovation.

For the second time at BIO-Europe, a session is especially dedicated to the field of nanomedicine, representing a major opportunity to increase the visibility and synergies of the field with the pharmaceutical industries, a crucial stakeholder in the development of nanotherapeutics towards the patients.

The winners will receive media coverage across Europe and gain visibility to EU decision makers from biotechnology, pharma, academia and finance. Winners will also benefit from a full registration (including partnering) for BIO-Europe 2013 and a 5-minute presentation slot at the Nanomedicine Panel Discussion during the event. In addition, the winning project will also be granted a 15-minute presentation slot during the CLINAM conference 2014 in Basel, Switzerland, along with 1 year’s free ETPN membership and two days consultation by the members of the ETPN Translational Advisory Board.
