IAP Meeting, San Francisco

The Biotech International Advisory Panel (BIO-IAP) was devised to provide strategic advice and relationships to catalyse biotechnology initiatives in Malaysia. Our Inaugural International Advisory Panel was held in San Francisco this year and was chaired by our Honourable Prime Minsiter himself. The meeting gathered together some of the top biotechnology industry experts in one room which resulted in very fruitful discussions being held.
