We proudly co-host this workshop with P4 Precision Accelerator and the Wellcome Genome Campus.

In this workshop, we cover an exciting area of the Chinese Life Sciences industry: Genomics. As always, we will bring in speakers from significant Chinese companies who are working in this sector and are open to collaborations with UK partners. Our speakers include Holly White from Rouse, who will speak on the important subject of Data Privacy Laws in China (which will be highly relevant for genomics and digital health companies who work with data). Other speakers from China are Novogene, one of China’s largest genomics companies, and Jabrehoo, a genomics company based in Beijing. Congenica, from the UK, will also share about itself and its work in the Chinese market.

The objective of these talks is for TusPark UK to facilitate health and life science companies with accessing the Chinese market: through education, knowledge sharing, and eventually, partner finding and running a pilot in China with first customers.
