Yock to give Keynote at Life Science Alley Conference
LifeScience Alley announced that Paul G. Yock, M.D., director
of Stanford University's program in Biodesign, will give the
keynote address during the luncheon at the association's annual
conference on December 6, 2007. Dr.
Yock is a Stanford cardiologist who is internationally known
for his work in inventing, developing and testing new devices,
including the Rapid Exchange balloon angioplasty system, which
is the dominant angioplasty system in use worldwide. Dr. Yock's keynote
address will focus on creating a commercialization culture with a view
from his experience in Silicon Valley's life science cluster.
The primary mission of the Biodesign program that Yock leads is to help train the NEXT generation of leaders in biomedical innovation. "Minnesota is one of the leading areas in the world for health care and medical technology, and is well aware of Dr. Yock's many contributions to the life science industry," said Don Gerhardt, president and CEO of LifeScience Alley. "Paul Yock is a Minnesota native who combines a Midwest and West Coast perspective on how we might better leverage our region's considerable expertise into successful commercialization development."
"At the Society for Neuroscience's annual meeting today (Nov 5), Kathie
