Merck’s Life Science and Healthcare businesses are joining forces to support KBioHealth New Drug Development Center (NDDC) with the organization of the 5th BioExcellence conference on the theme “Renaissance of Immunotherapy” on October 6th in Osong.

This collaboration is the first of its kind in South Korea and will bring together the world’s oldest pharmaceutical company with the most promising medical innovation foundation in South Korea. Despite that difference of history, KBioHealth and Merck share the same belief in scientific innovation especially in the biotechnology sector.

Inaugurated in 2011, K-Bio’s New drug Development Center has already supported a large number of biotech projects by providing comprehensive world class research and manufacturing infrastructure to anyone with a new drug candidate substance. “By bridging government, industry, schools and institutions, the center strongly believes it will induce the activation of new drug development” said Dr. Tae Gyu Lee, President of New Drug Development Center, KBioHealth.

Three years ago, Merck’s Life Science business initiated a program to support emerging biotechnology companies to further advance the development of their pipeline. “With our experience in the industry, collaborating with the large MNC, we can empower emerging biotech to solve their toughest challenges” emphasized Benoit Gourdier VP, Head of Process Solutions Sales APAC. Networking between KBioHealth NDDC and Merck, conference will also address the expectations of multinational companies when evaluating collaboration projects.

Benoit Gourdier has 20 years of experience in the life science industry. Benoit Gourdier joined Millipore 20 years ago and held a variety of roles in sales and marketing in Paris and Molsheim (France). An engineer in biochemical engineering by training, he has led the Asia Sales activities for the Global Pharma Processing commercial area of Life Science of Merck for the past 3 years. Benoit Gourdier currently oversees the Process Solutions Sales activities in Asia Pacific as well as Sales Development globally.
