SHANGHAI, Nov. 20 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Emerging Chinese Biotechs Set to Meet with Global Pharma and Biotech Companies
ChinaBio(R) Accelerator today announced it is organizing the first partnering forum focused on China
life science technology to be held in China. The ChinaBio(R) Partnering Forum, scheduled for June 3 and

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

access over $60 million US 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 Greg Scott, President and founder of
ChinaBio(R). "China biotech is clearly poised for global success because of its significant
number of highly skilled scientists and innovators coupled with strong government support and a unique
low cost, high quality development structure. We are now very pleased to announce our first Partnering
Forum to be held in China and look forward to expanding on the success of our prior events here."
