ChinaBio Accelerator, an operating unit of ChinaBio LLC, which has offices in Shanghai, Palo Alto and San Diego, California, announced it is organizing the first partnering forum focused on China life science technology to be held in China.

 

The ChinaBio Partnering Forum, scheduled for June 3-4, 2009 in Shanghai, will bring together more than 300 attendees seeking to enter into partnership deals. The two-day forum will feature one-on-one partnering meetings, technology presentations by China-based researchers and biotech companies, big pharma leaders discussing their "wish lists," executive workshops and exhibits.

 

Technology areas represented will include: novel targets, leads and molecules, biomarkers, diagnostics, drug development platforms, drug delivery systems and medical devices. All technologies will be pre-screened by ChinaBio to ensure the highest quality presentations and partnering opportunities.

 

ChinaBio organized events have helped early and mid-stage biotech companies in China to access over $60 million and close partnering deals with leading pharmaceutical companies including Pfizer, Roche, Lilly and Merck.

 

"China is the fastest growing market for pharmaceuticals in the world and now is transforming itself into an internationally-recognized leader in biotech innovation," said Mr Greg Scott, President and founder of ChinaBio..
