On November 17th, the Greater Bay Area Science Forum 2024 officially kicked off in Guangzhou's Nansha District. Over a hundred academicians and experts from various fields across the globe participated in the event.
"So it's, as I said, the international standard now." Barry J. Marshall, 2005 Nobel Prize Laureate in Physiology or Medicine, shared insights into China's advanced capabilities in the biotechnology field in an interview with GDToday.
According to Marshall, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) boasts a comprehensive research system, advanced research environment, and a vast pool of talent. "With biotech, you have to be able to measure tiny amounts accurately. For instance, if you're making a drug, every single bottle must have exactly the same amount and must be safety tested."
Marshall further stated that fortunately, the necessary measurement systems are in place in the GBA, along with highly skilled operators who have worked overseas in countries such as Germany, the US and England, ensuring that production meets the highest standards.
He also noted that there are special departments dedicated to quality checking and control of products. Additionally, a manager can be easily appointed in this area. "There's already a team here, which can get you started. So it's great."
