Good post. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and it is NOT as some would have us believe, a train coming lol.

"Roy Baynes, Senior Bigwig for Merck is also at the two conferences, and is also on the Berlin advisory board"

As is 'Vice President, Head Search & Evaluation, Business Development, Bristol-Myers Squibb'

I believe both Merck and Bristol-Myers Squibb have been mentioned in respect to possible partnerships. Hopefully by the end of these conferences we will have some positive news to celebrate. GLTA

The Conference Forum has some nice talks at Pharma Talk Radio.

I posted this Pharma Talk Radio conference before, sometime last year. Considering it's an interview with Roy Baynes it’s most appropriate to listen to it now to think about Combination starting at minute 13. And then make sure you listen to 16 mins: Immunogenic intensifying immune response. Then they speak about expression within the tumor. Basically, explains the rationale for combining immunotherapies, specifically PD1 and Vaccines are covered. Other interesting talks to listen to in the series. Enjoy. :)
