Taiwan promotes biotechnology

Article Abstract:

Taiwan seeks to lessen its dependency on imported plasma products through the formation of Bio Trust International Corp. Bio Trust will have an initial annual budget of TW$653 million (US$20 million). Although plasma collected in Taiwan will initially be processed in Scotland, plasma processing will take off in Taiwan after the completion of a new plasma fractionation facility. This facility, which can fractionate 300,000 L of plasma per year, will be completed in Taipei in 2001.
