Editor's Note: As the year winds down, we pause to reflect on some of the healthcare events that we attended. Last January we kicked off 2006 by attending JP Morgan's Annual Healthcare Conference. We look forward to attending JP Morgan's upcoming 2007 event. We attended two meetings in the Spring that discussed topics involving commercializing stem cell research. CHI's Molecular Medicine Conference was well attended. Burrill had its first stem cell meeting and sought to bring together a broad group of interested people to discuss this important topic from end to end. In the Summer and Fall we attended CHI's Beyond Genome Conference that suggested the top-10 topics that have emerged as key themes for future healthcare research. We found that the Healthcare Day at Linux World provided us with new insights about healthcare open source software trends. BIO's Emerging Company Investor Conference revealed some new companies to watch in the coming year. We enjoyed the lively discussions that these meetings produced. The contacts and information helped us publish new research reports on topics including biochips, biomarkers, drug delivery, cell analysis and so on. - Jay Myers, Editor and Publisher
