Thank you all for making SALSS 2011 the best SALSS to date!
"Sex, money and health"* concluded our Summit - brilliantly presented
by Professor Hans Rosling. His global scope perfectly set the stage
for next year's
special focus on emerging markets. The convergence of information,
Internet, and wireless with healthcare technologies is also breaking
borders and attracting new innovative players. SALSS 2012 has the
ambition to once again be a platform of change and be 'global, but
personal' just as the industry itself.
See you then!
Barbro C. Ehnbom
Chairman,
Swedish-American Life Science Summit

In order to facilitate deeper, more meaningful and personal interactions, we deliberately keep the event small and as such would like you to secure your place at your earliest.

SALSS 2009 Key Note Speaker speaks up on
stem-cell
legislation
U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette on Wednesday unveiled her latest legislative
effort to support embryonic-stem-cell research.
The bill would codify the National Institutes of Health's guidelines
for carrying out all stem-cell research and require the NIH to review
its guidelines every three years and make updates as science
warrants.DeGette got legislation passed in the House and Senate in 2006
and 2007 that was similar to the Research Advancement Act of 2011. Both
bills were vetoed by President George W. Bush. Her legislation served
as the framework for President Barack Obama's 2009 executive order that
overturned the Bush administration's ban on funding for stem-cell
research.The 2011 act has been presented to Congress, and DeGette is
"cautiously optimistic" that Congress can pass the legislation for a
third time and get it to Obama's desk for approval.

Karolinska Development raises EUR 67.8m in Stockholm IPO
We extend our warmest congratulations to Torbjorn Bjerke, CEO of Karolinska Development AB and a dear SALSS Family member, for the successful IPO of Karolinska Development AB on the exchange in Stockholm April 15th collecting SEK 608 million (USD 98m/EUR 67.8m). As the IPO was oversubscribed, the number of offered B-series shares was increased by 3.8 million to 15.2 million, which corresponds to 31% of the capital and 24% of the votes in the company. The subscription price was set at SEK 40 apiece, giving Karolinska Development a market value of some SEK 1.941 billion. The capital injection will allow Karolinska Development to optimally develop its most prioritised projects to the phase when they can be sold or licensed, Torbjorn Bjerke commented.
