We are excited to announce that SABio will be among exhibitors at Biopharma Asia Convention 2014, which will take place in March 10-13, 2014 at Suntec Convention & Exhibition Centre. The 7th annual BioPharma Asia Convention is the leading event for Asia's biopharma industry. Bringing together decision makers and influencers from pharma, biotech, academia, CROs and CMOs it delivers an unparalleled opportunity to convene, network and deliberate.

We invite you to stop by SABio's booth C40, which will be located in the Ruby area. Furthermore, SABio will present a poster on its ongoing R&D projects in the poster exhibit area. We are looking forward to seeing you there!

It has been nearly two months since SABio relocated to the vibrant and welcoming research community at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) campus. To commemorate the occasion, we are organising a scientific session dedicated to RNA Interference (RNAi), to which you are cordially invited.

A talk, titled "RNA Interference, a Powerful Tool to Investigate Gene Function (Caution: Like All Powerful Methods, It Must Be Handled with Care)" will be given by Prof. Mariano Garcia-Blanco, a world-renowned expert in RNA biology. Prof. Garcia-Blanco is Director at Duke Center for RNA Biology, Duke University, USA; Charles D. Watts Professor of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology, USA; Professor of Emerging Infectious Diseases at Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School, Singapore. He is also a member of the Scientific Advisory Board for European Alternative Splicing Network of Excellence, the International Centre of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, the National Advisory General Medical Sciences Council (USA), and an elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).

The talk will address:

• RNAi background, applications and methodology
• How to use RNAi in reductionist experiments & en masse
• Method concerns and limitations and how these can be assuaged
