Despite the global economic downturn, economists are still projecting in China? a positive growth rate for China in 2009. Much of this growth will come from China's biotech sector. China government's initiatives, the SFDA's tightening of guidelines, the increasing IP, GMP and GLP compliance, the continuing search for lower cost production and the abundance of talent in China are all contributing to the sustained growth in the China's biopharmaceutical sector. While China's drug manufacturers have traditionally focused on generics, traditional Chinese medicine or API manufacturing, there's a growing trend towards new drug R&D among the more progressive drug companies as well as new biotechs. Proprietary proteins and antibodies, biosimilars, and private vaccines are beginning to make their way into the portfolios of many drug companies in China. In addition, Western pharmaceuticals are increasingly looking toward China for untapped potential.

BioProcess Internatioanl China aims to address the skill-sets and capabilities required by China's biotech and pharmaceutical companies to move to the forefront of biopharm processing and manufacturing, and be a major player in the industry. The event will present topics covering the components of the bioprocess value-chain, ranging from Cell Culture to Formulation; from Microbial Fermentation to Purification and Recovery; from Analytical Methods to Single Use/Disposables etc. Industry trends and developments of novel proteins and antibodies, me-too and me-better drugs as well as therapeutic vaccine advances will be presented in plenary sessions. Hotly debatable topics such as IP, Investment and Regulatory will also be addressed in roundtables and panel discussions.
