Abstract
This relatively new biennial meeting – the first was in Prague in 2005 – was chaired by Julian Ma (Guy’s Hospital, London, UK), with Mario Pezzotti (University of Verona, Italy) as local organizer, and attracted approximately 180 delegates from 25 countries. The theme was ‘Plant Expression Systems for Recombinant Pharmacologics’: there were 46 talks gathered into two plenaries, 12 themed sessions and 72 posters. Topics covered included publicly funded and commercial developments, innovation, regulation and commercialization, competition with conventional technology, manufacture and new products.
