JULY 22nd, 2003- On the 9th of this month more than 100 members and non-members of the TiE Malaysian Chapter gathered at Sentidos Tapas, Starhill to attend a networking event for Life Sciences, Bio IT and Healthcare.
TiE (which stands for Talents-ideas-Enterprise) Malaysia is one of the 40 TiE Chapters worldwide that forms a non-profit global network of entrepreneurs and professionals. Y.B.

At approximately 7.30 pm, Mr Nick Ashby, a Charter Member of TiE welcomed guests with a brief introduction on TiE and the objectives of the event which is held in line with the government efforts to promote the biotech industry. Mr Ashby notes that the recent SARS attack has open up many opportunities in the industry. Governments from around the globe are dispensing grants and sponsorships to encourage and cultivate interest in the biotech field.
The evening's keynote address was delivered by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BioEnterprise Asia, Mr Gurinder Shahi. Dr. Shahi is trained in molecular biochemistry and international health policy and management and his work experience includes work on life science technology assessment, strategic business planning, R & D and work process improvement, performance appraisal of joint ventures and strategic alliances, market strategy development, economic and policy analysis for health intervention and evidence-based decision-making for investment and implementation.

This was followed by presentations by three companies; AP Genomics Sdn Bhd, DHA Phenomics Asia-Pacific and Southern Domain Technologies Sdn Bhd. These companies provided information about their business, latest developments in DNA-based diagnostics and applied security respectively.
AP Genomics is a genome-science technology developer focused on translating the findings of cutting edge R & D into clinical and commercial applications. DNA Phenomics Asia-Pacific specializes in discovery and development of diagnostic tests and services for growing market in personalized medicine. Last but not least, Southern Domain Technologies Sdn Bhd is a pioneer in Biometric Solutions for Identity Management using Iris Recognition.
The last presentation prompted a few questions. Many were very interested to know more about the Iris Recognition Technology. This is hardly surprising as the need to accurately identify people for especially security measures has never been of more importance than now. The Iris Recognition Technology promises a more accurate method of identifying people as it takes into count an individual's unique physical and behavioural characteristics.
The informative evening came to an end with more servings of tapas and drinks, networking and a photo session for the speakers and presenters.
