[Biotech] Overseas Taiwan Scholar to Help Set Up Biotech Center: GIO (Chinese Version)

The China Post & China Times E-paper (2011/06/30) A respectable U.S.-based Taiwanese scholar has agreed to return to Taiwan to help establish a national biotechnology incubation center, the Government Information Office (GIO) said on June 29.

According to the GIO, Cyrus CHU, Minister without Portfolio, went to the U.S to recruit talented people and ended up bagging Huai-jen SU, Taiwan's biotechnology overseas consultant, who has consented to help set up the Supra Incubation Center.

GIO said SU will choose 3-4 potential new medicines and medical devices from the National Science and Technology Program for Biotechnology and Pharmaceuticals (NSTPBP), the National Research Program for Genomic Medicine (NRPGM) and the National Research Program for Biopharmaceuticals ( NRPB ). He will offer his assistance to help bring these products to market.

SU, 60, graduated from National Taiwan University's chemical engineering department. He also has two Ph.D. degrees from the University of California at Berkeley and the University of California at San Francisco. He once worked for Biogen Idec, a biotechnology company, and Shire Pharmaceuticals. The incubation center was an idea he developed five years ago.
