Over 500 foreign and domestic scientists, lecturers and post graduatesjoined the national bio-technology conference held in the centralcoastal city of Da Nang on July 7.
The conference, jointlyorganised by the Vietnam-UK Institute for Research and ExecutiveEducation, the Vietnam Biology Association under the Vietnam Union ofScience and Technology Associations and the UK’s Aston University,focused on medical bio-technology, bio fuel, genetic technology and lifescience.
Reports at the event highlighted achievements inapplying ADN technology to analysing samples of fallen soldiers’ remainsfor identification in Vietnam, using Type 1 interferon to treathepatitis C in Vietnam and the upgrades of batch fermentation process,among others.
According to Ph.D Prof. Nguyen Lan Dung, Chairmanof the Vietnam Biology Association, bio-technology is considered as akey sector besides information technology and new building materialstechnology.
At the event, Aston University’sPro-Vice-Chancellor – International - Professor Helen Griffithsunderscored that the conference created a valuable opportunity forbio-researchers from Aston University and Da Nang University as well asother international researchers to share experience and knowledge.
Theprofessor stressed that bio-technology has huge potentials fordevelopment in the future, saying that it is vital to cooperate andsupport each other in bio research.-VNA
