You are cordially invited to an event for entrepreneurs, scientists, industry executives, investors, and policy makers in the biomedical industry in Southern California and Pacific Asia. For more information about our organization, please visit www.sabpa.org.
The main topics for this event will be partnership and commercialization of high-content biomedical systems. The representative technology platforms in this market space include genomics, proteomics, cellular and tissue, microfluidic chips, printing and sensing instruments, and related consumables used in the R & D and diagnostics markets. As there are many players with a myriad of technologies developed for molecular research, drug discovery and diagnostics, the path to successful commercialization in today's market is rather complex.
Market leaders and newly formed companies from Southern California and China will present:
- Technology trends in high-content/high-throughput systems in US and China
- Opportunities in the commercialization of high-content/high-throughput systems
- Investment opportunities in US and China - Past, Present and Future
- Innovations in miniaturized high-content biomedical systems
