Friday was an another mind-blowing day at the World Stem Cell Summit (#WSCS15) in Atlanta, GA, affectionately called “Fantastic Friday” because of the packed schedule and high-energy content. The World Stem Cell Summit brings together more than 1,200 intelligent minds, putting brilliant speakers on stage and packing rooms with curious and eager listeners.

Yesterday, I released a post titled “Top 10 Quotes from Day 1 of the World Stem Cell Summit.” Again today, there the speakers were spinning gems of wisdom and it doesn’t seem appropriate to let them fade without adequate appreciation. On that note, here are my top 10 favorite quotes from today, Day 2 of the World Stem Cell Summit 2015.

“Speed Dating” for Investors, De-extinction, and New Business Initiatives

Today was another incredible day a the World Stem Cell Summit (#WSCS15). Because of the jam-packed scheduled that runs from 7:15am breakfast networking through to an evening social, it is affectionately called “Fantastic Friday.” The day launched with speakers such as Dr. Joshua Hare and Dr. Tatsuya Shimizu discussing how mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be used to repair and regenerate the human heart, either by directly stimulating the micro-environment or by stimulating the activity of muscle stem cells. Shortly thereafter, talks expanded to focus on other stem cell types, including induced pluripotent stem cells (iPCSs), which were explored in greater detail during a lunch-time “Japan Symposium” that featured presenters from FUJIFILM Corporation, Ajinomoto Co., Inc., Cyfuse Biomedical, and Kyoto University.

Today was an absolutely incredible day at the World Stem Cell Summit (#WSCS15) in Atlanta, GA. The event kicked off this morning with 1,200 attendees representing from more than 40 countries. Impressively, there are up to seven different speakers presenting at any given moment, meaning the the shear volume of content being shared is incredible!  In addition to the concurrent speaker tracks, there were also Expert Luncheon Roundtables, Investor Presentations, and a “Stem Cell Actions Award Dinner” this evening.

Having attended nearly every stem cell conference on the circuit, I can say that this conference is the only event of to bring together stakeholders from across the entire stem cell spectrum, including private industry, public industry, regulatory agencies, investors, patients, advocates, clinicians, and more.

It is truly the ultimate stem cell event of the year and an event that everyone should attend at least once in their lifetime! [Read more…]

6 Ways that Market Intelligence Can Benefit Stem Cell Industry Investors

Market intelligence has been around for a very long time, but like all fields of study, it has evolved substantially over time. Over the past decade, BioInformant has expanded our market research techniques to include extracting data from massive online databases, delivering electronic surveys to remote regions of the world, and incorporating new social analytics that can capture individual user data as well as aggregate behavior trends on social media platforms.

Therefore, market intelligence is a continually evolving science and one that often benefits from exponential improvement.

Below, I consider the top six ways in which market intelligence can benefit stem cell industry executives and investors. [Read more…]

3 Bullet Thursday – Contracting Muscle, Genetic Modification, and DNA Data Density

By Leave a Comment

Stay alert to the latest and greatest on stem cells.  Enjoy this week’s “3 Bullet Thursday,” a weekly post that we do to update you on interesting and important events within the world of stem cells. 

1. In groundbreaking news this week, scientists used stem cells from rats to create the world’s first contracting muscle. Researchers led by Dr. Macchiarini replaced a section of diaphragm, which contracts in response to signals that regulate breathing.

2. Stem Cell Medicine, Ltd., an Israeli stem cell company with breathtaking research and development facilities, made global headlines this week by announcing a partnership to develop genetically-modified muscle progenitor cells. 

3. A bioengineer and geneticist at Harvard’s Wyss Institute successfully stored 5.5 petabits of data in a single gram of DNA, smashing the previous DNA data density record by 1,000 times. A petabit is 10^15bits, which makes this accomplishment simply astounding. 

Happy Thursday!
