Guangzhou International Bio-Island is a comprehensive high-tech biotechnology development project that centers on bioinformatics research to drive development in related fields such as pharmaceuticals, healthcare, materials, food, wellness, and environmental protection, while establishing a complete support service system to create a unique biotechnology research environment.
“Bio-Island” focuses on the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and functional genomics research, tapping into the two major strategic resources of TCM and genomics and post-genomics research,It establishes a highly integrated, advanced pharmaceutical and biotechnology platform to transform these two resources into scientific and technological achievements, forming a research and industrial cluster with strong technical development capabilities. The goal is to produce a series of scalable, mass-produced scientific research outcomes and technological products with independent intellectual property rights—that is, to achieve the industrialization of research—and to become a world-class biomedical research and development base.“Bio-Island” centers on building a comprehensive biotechnology service support system to create a well-rounded R&D environment and an excellent living environment for biotechnology research and development institutions and individuals. It aims to foster a favorable academic environment that attracts and retains outstanding scientific and technical personnel, thereby attracting capital and investors to facilitate the commercialization of scientific and technological achievements—that is, “attracting science and business.”
