During the morning session of meeting day one, immediately after the keynote speech by Zheng Xiao Yu, head of the China State Drug Administration, I gave a presentation on data management in the Bio-Pharmaceutical industry.

Earlier in the year I provided data management and application development services to the overseas (US-based) conference organizer, BioPharma Greenhouse. Through this relationship they learned of my expertise in data management and I learned (a little) about biotechnology. By working with their team of biotech Ph.D.'s, I was able to put together my presentation.

Although I learned a little bit of Mandarin Chinese, I gave the presentation in English. Simultaneous translation into Mandarin was provided by the conference organizers.
