The 4th edition of Life Science Forum Basel took place on the 23rd of June 2011 at the Pharmazentrum of the University of Basel
With Life Science Forum Basel (LSFB) we launched, four years ago, an independent, interdisciplinary and practical knowledge sharing association supporting the Basel Life Science community and bringing a practical insight into the latest developments in the pharmaceutical field.
Every year the Forum gathers more than 100 people present in one day to share, present and exchange on same topics of interest.
The LSFB wants to highlight leading edge and upcoming trends in the life science industry. Our objective is to be a forum for innovation exchange and provide a discussion platform for new ideas. Our content is developing each year taking into consideration the feed-back we got from the participants and the life science community.
The Life Science Forum Basel 2011 event is free of charge and open for everybody interested.

Basel offers young professionals one of the most innovative environments in Life Sciences. LSFB offers them an independent knowledge sharing platform. Learn from colleagues why it is worth to found a new company in Basel, why is it worth to work in a start-up and how can it be a great experience. Is it necessary to reinvent the wheel or what are the challenges others were faced; and did they master them and if yes how? It could well be that you find the answer during the LSFB 2011.

We permanently face rising demands of health authorities for the safety of our products. New strategies and technologies are required for their cost effective development (and usage) by creating itself an inexorable rise of costs. In this context optimization becomes a completely different meaning that requires us all to redesign our usual way of working. LSFB shares with you the latest business trends within the Pharmaceutical industry, introduces new methodologies and uncovers new technology to fill existing gaps. Discuss with us to what extend new methodologies and technologies are ready to follow today’s business trends and what are their limitations.

In Basel we have some of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world with the most promising product pipelines in the world. In the first line it is us the people working for these companies who made this all happen. Creating innovation, defining strategies and influence standards by being challenged every day with new business trends and the need to anticipate them as early as possible. LSFB created an open, interdisciplinary and practical experience sharing atmosphere to support us who are faced with understanding and closing the bridge between innovation and business.
