WHO WE ARE:
The Chinese American Biopharmaceutical Society (CABS) is a non-profit organization for professionals in the biopharmaceutical industry, headquartered in San Francisco, California. We have over 2,000 members and participants. While many of our members are located in the San Francisco Bay Area, the largest biotechnology hub of the world and the birthplace of biotechnology, we also have members in other parts of the U.S. and in the Pacific Rim countries including China. The majority of our members are scientists in biopharmaceutical companies, universities and research institutions, but we also have a strong presence of professionals from legal, finance and venture capital fields that are focused on life sciences. Three quarters of our members have a doctorate degree and approximately half of our members hold leadership and management positions in the biopharmaceutical industry.
WHAT WE DO:
To fulfill our mission, we organize frequent activities, such as scientific and business workshops and social/networking events. Our flagship event is our annual conference, the BioPacific Conference, which attracts about 600 attendees from the U.S. and the Pacific Rim. We also host frequent business exchange meetings with delegations from China seeking talents and technologies from the U.S.
Our journal, Trends in Bio/pharmaceutical Industry, published quarterly online and in print, is a scientific journal focused on the latest discoveries, innovations, development and trends in life sciences.
