SBA signs MoU with Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering Society of Taiwan

In the first of two important initiatives, SBA President Claudia Vickers recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding on behalf of SBA with Biotechnology and Bioengineering Society of Taiwan president Ching-Kuan Lin.

This MoU is designed to help facilitate cooperative collaboration between Taiwanese and Australian/New Zealand synthetic biologists. If you would like information or contacts for collaboration in Taiwan, please contact Claudia. This will be followed by a signing of an MoU between SBA and the Asian Federation of Biotechnolgy, scheduled to happen during the SB7.0 conference in Singapore.
