National Stem Cell Holding, Inc. To Present Keynote Address at The Stem Cell Partnering Series Inaugural Meeting in San Diego

Posted on: Tuesday, 26 February 2008, 09:01 CST

MOUNTAINSIDE, N.J., Feb. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- National Stem Cell Holding, Inc. (Pink Sheets: NHGI) today announced that its President Michael Cohen will present a Keynote Address, "A New Collaboration Model for Government Agencies, Academic Institutions and Development Stage Biotech Companies," at the Inaugural meeting of The Stem Cell Partnering Series: Fostering Business Collaborations & Careers in Stem Cell Science, February 28- 29, 2008, to be held at the University of California San Diego.

National Stem Cell President, Michael Cohen, stated, "I am pleased to participate in this event which has focused much needed attention to two critically important issues facing the stem cell / Regenerative Medicine industry: the need for increasing and improving strategic collaborations among the key stakeholders namely, development stage biotech companies, academic Institutions and government agencies, together with the attendant need to develop and recruit trained scientific personnel to meet both current and future industrial demands. Failure to address these issues rapidly and effectively within the U.S. risks the significant loss of intellectual property research and development and value to industrial sectors abroad."

The Stem Cell Partnering Series is a not-for-profit organization that actively supports the development and sustainability of the stem cell industry by fostering business collaborations and career development.
