Dear friends,

Chinese-American BioMedical Association (CABA) is delighted to present you the first issue of CABA Connect, CABA’s official newsletter.

CABA prides itself on our dedication to serving our members and our commitment to promoting public awareness of advancement in the pharmaceutical and biomedical industries, professional interactions in the fields of life sciences, global biomedical innovations and business development. We thrives to serve as a platform for our members to develop and advance their careers in the US bio/pharmaceutical industry as well as a bridge to connect members with the scientific and business resources in China thus to facilitate collaborations between the pharmaceutical and biomedical industries across the continents.

Having successfully organized numerous events including our annual conferences, scientific & investment symposia, and various special forums, we were encouraged to set up additional channels to further enhance the interactions among our members and friends. CABA Connect was conceived almost a year ago by a few of our EC members and our esteemed advisor Dr. Roger Tung, CEO and President of Concert Pharmaceuticals. We are hoping this will further help bring together members, scientists, professionals, government officials and business leaders across the continents to achieve their best potentials.

Tremendous respect and gratitude go to the newsletter team of Drs. Qinglin Che (editorin-chief), Yongzhong Wang (editor), Tony Yuan (editor) and Chaoyang Dai (CABA vice president) for their wonderful, yet extremely challenging work in designing, writing and editing this very first issue of CABA Connect! The carefully drafted reports, industry news, job postings, and member highlights will help you better understand our organization, our members including advisors, and the biopharmaceutical society at a glance. We also like to thank our sponsors for their generous support to this newsletter.

I sincerely wish you to find joy in reading this issue of CABA Connect and hope to see more volunteers step up and contribute to the future issues. As a non-profit organization, CABA purely relies on your support to move forward. If you wish to contribute in any way, please feel free to let us know.

Zhao-Kui Wan, Ph.D.
President, Chinese-American BioMedical Association
