ABOUT SYMPOSIUM

​SoCal Taiwanese Biotechnology Symposium is hosted by SoCal Taiwanese Biotechnology Association (SoCal TBA), a 501(c)(3) organization established in 2016, which thrives to bridge the industry and academics gaps in the U.S. and Asia and to meet the needs of professionals in biotechnology related fields.
​
​This symposium aims to promote the local biotechnology community, provide networking opportunity and exposure for small to medium-sized start-ups, and foster connections between large firms and small start-ups.  We also strive to build a platform for experience sharing and to connect the local community with Taiwanese Biotechnology industry and local academic scene.
