With more and more European and U.S. life sciences companies looking to expand their businesses in the Chinese market and participate in the rapidly-growing healthcare market in China through strategic collaborations with domestic companies that can add value for a win-win outcome for all parties involved. As a result, I am very confident that Miguel, with his strong background in the biotechnology industry and decade of experience in China, will add tremendous value as a team member by providing excellent advice and expertise to these innovative companies.”
