Message from the Director

Dear Valued Subscriber,

I hope the past month has been a fulfilling one for you. On behalf of MABIC, I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

We have come to the end of 2004 and I am looking forward to another twelve months of achievements in 2005 and we need your support to make it come true.

We are glad to have you as part of us and we believe everyone could play an active role in creating awareness in biotechnology. All you have to do is let us know of any interesting happenings at your institutes or companies and how we can work together.

Thank you for your continuing support, and we hope you enjoy this edition of BICalert.

Sincerely,
Kelvin Keh
