  I was recently invited to moderate a panel discussion at an ACI Life Sciences Business Development & Acquisitions in Emerging Markets Conference. The panelists and moderators were from very diversified backgrounds and shared industry insights and engaged in in-depth discussion with the audience. The audience was comprised of sophisticated industry insiders whose active participation and challenging questions made the event a very rewarding experience to everyone. As an attorney with a specialization in transactions in the US and Chinese life sciences industries, I look forward to benefiting from many more upcoming ACI conferences.

  The Paragraph IV Disputes Conference should be better than ever this year. The pre-conference workshop on Follow-On biologics will provide a great forum to discuss new issues presented by the BPCIA. The Myriad, Therasense and Microsoft cases will have been fully argued and may be decided. All of this will make the panel discussions more interesting and informative. The program looks great, even for those who have been around Hatch-Waxman for a while.
