Emerging bioscience companies from San Antonio will have an opportunity to present to investors, researchers and entrepreneurs at the Texas Life Science Conference November 5-7 at the Brown Foundation Institute for Molecular Medicine in Houston.

BioMed SA serves as a Community Partner for the statewide conference, organized by BioHouston and the Texas Healthcare and Bioscience Institute. The conference is expected to bring together more than 300 of the life science industry's preeminent venture capitalists, leading researchers, and emerging company executives.

Stelios Papadopoulos, Ph.D., co-founder and chairman of the board of Exelixis, Inc. and a prominent life science expert, will deliver the keynote address November 6. In addition to company presentations and VC panels, attendees can sign up for one-on-one meetings with potential collaborators, investors and service providers through the conference's Partnering Forum.

"There is growing interest in the biomedical technologies coming out of San Antonio," said BioMed SA President Ann Stevens. "We encourage San Antonio companies and researchers to participate and demonstrate the strength of our local sector."

The conference will kick off November 5 with an afternoon BioBoot Camp, offering researchers, students and entrepreneurs a crash course in how to start and grow a successful life science business. The conference concludes November 7 with an Oncology Forum, featuring presentations by clinicians and researchers helping to shape the future of cancer research and patient care.
