BioBusiness in Asia
How Asia Can Capitalise on the Life Science
Revolution

Gurinder Shahi
BioBusiness in Asia is the quintessential handbook for any
reader seeking to comprehend the biotech buzz – or to
create value in the life science and biotech arena in the
Asia-Pacific region. It provides a strategic overview of the
global BioBusiness landscape. It focuses on raising
awareness and understanding of the opportunity and
potential of innovations in the life sciences and
biotechnology, and examines the role that Asia can play
in helping to transform the so-called "BioBusiness arena"
(defined in the book as commercial activities that depend
on an understanding of the life sciences and life processes).
It also outlines innovation, entrepreneurship, public policy
and investment challenges, and opportunities in the region
and internationally.
BioBusiness in Asia is written both for the layman and the
technical reader, and addresses three primary audiences
– the scientist/entrepreneur who wants to introduce world
changing life science/biotech innovative products,
services and technologies, the policy-maker who wants
to understand the dynamics of the BioBusiness arena, and
to provide fertile ground for life science/biotech innovation
and value creation, and the investor who recognizes the
opportunity that new innovations represent, and who
wants to capture a piece of the action.
About the Author
Dr Gurinder Shahi has held positions with leading
international agencies and organizations including the
Rockefeller Foundation, the United Nations Development
Programme, the International Vaccine Institute and the

Asia-Pacific International Molecular Biology Network. He
has worked on life science and interdisciplinary initiatives
across the public-private spectrum in many countries
around the world. A “global citizen” who is fiercely proud
of his Asia-Pacific roots, he enjoys nothing more than
interacting and working with friends and colleagues across
cultural, linguistic, national, and disciplinary barriers to find
common ground for action.

CYBER TIGERS
How Companies in Asia Can Prosper from E-Commerce
James K Ho
This is a pragmatic, non-technical guide to explain why and how small and
medium-size enterprises (SMEs) in Asia should engage in electronic commerce
(EC). For Asian economics to rebound from the crisis of the late 1990s, new
means of value creation and gains in productivity are imperative. A great
opportunity will be missed if Asian SMEs hold on to the perception that EC is too
hi-tech, too expensive, and too sophisticated for their benefit. This book reveals
to them a realistic and affordable approach to a competitive edge in the
volatile global economy.
