How Asia Can Capitalise on the Life Science
Revolution
Gurinder Shahi
BioBusiness in Asia is the quintessential handbook for any
reader seeking to comprehend the biotech buzz – or to
create value in the life science and biotech arena in the
Asia-Pacific region It provides a strategic overview of the
global BioBusiness landscape It focuses on raising
awareness and understanding of the opportunity and
potential of innovations in the life sciences and
biotechnology, and examines the role that Asia can play
in helping to transform the so-called "BioBusiness arena"
(defined in the book as commercial activities that depend
on an understanding of the life sciences and life processes)
It also outlines innovation, entrepreneurship, public policy
and investment challenges, and opportunities in the region
and internationally
BioBusiness in Asia is written both for the layman and the
technical reader, and addresses three primary audiences
– the scientist/entrepreneur who wants to introduce world
changing life science/biotech innovative products,
services and technologies, the policy-maker who wants
to understand the dynamics of the BioBusiness arena, and
to provide fertile ground for life science/biotech innovation
and value creation, and the investor who recognizes the
opportunity that new innovations represent, and who
wants to capture a piece of the action
About the Author
Dr Gurinder Shahi has held positions with leading
international agencies and organizations including the Rockefeller Foundation, the United Nations Development Programme, the International Vaccine Institute and the Asia-Pacific International Molecular Biology Network He has worked on life science and interdisciplinary initiatives across the public-private spectrum in many countries around the world A “global citizen” who is fiercely proud
of his Asia-Pacific roots, he enjoys nothing more than interacting and working with friends and colleagues across cultural, linguistic, national, and disciplinary barriers to find common ground for action
