Published by USCIPI

USCIPI is proud to present Biotechnology in Hong Kong (Volume IV)! Once again, we've gathered over 20 authors, experts in multiple disciplines, to share their perspectives and help educate on the developments in biotechnology in Hong Kong and China (by extension). As the current political and economic landscapes continually change, it would not be surprising if these fluctuations may have a negative effect on innovation and technology. However, though some may see these as troubling times, these articles reflect the enduring spirit of exploration and creation of the scientists, educators, and professionals that persevere with their amazing work. This collection of articles serves as an update of biotechnology in Hong Kong, which is still very much so a gateway for business in China. With the US and China as world leaders in innovation, there is so much potential for excellence, collaboration, and great inventions that would benefit mankind.

Published by USCIPI

Pharmaceutical innovation, referred to in this book as the whole process of bringing a new drug to market, involves a series of research stages and regulatory approvals which usually take about 10-15 years for a new drug. This book re-examines pharmaceutical innovation in China from the viewpoint of the innovation value chain by sequentially scanning different sections in the whole process of drug innovation including idea generation indicated by academic articles, basic research, and applied development measured by ongoing projects, technology flow captured by patent citations, technology valuation and transfer, product registration, and the launch of new drugs. Each chapter is an independent research work which may either involve a specific therapeutic area or generally focus on a stage, but they can structurally be linked within the whole chain. Most of them are empirical studies based on substantial data and qualitative analysis.

Published by USCIPI

The summer of 1997 saw the handover of Hong Kong to China to become a Special Administrative Region. At the time, the social, political and economic future of Hong Kong was uncertain. In particular, there was much speculation regarding biotechnology and how it could be sustained and grown. Here is a collection of over 30 voices ranging from inventors, scholars, and entrepreneurs offering their thoughts on the state of biotechnology, the roles of the private sector and government, and the future of biotechnology in Hong Kong. The perspectives and observations are compelling and some concepts seem to be applicable even today.
