The scientific program was followed by a Viva Biotech-sponsored reception. After being introduced by SABPA San Diego chapter president Dr. Stephanie Shi, Viva’s executive director of business development Mrs. Yinghong Gao, who is also a member of the event organizing committee, extended a warm welcome to everyone at the reception. She then gave a brief introduction on Viva’s three main business areas including ①Viva Biology ②Viva Chemistry and ③Viva Biologics. She further highlighted some of viva’s state-of-the-art technology platforms including structural biology, protein expression and purification, lead compound discovery engines (Affinity Selection Mass Spectrometry aka ASMS, SPR, etc.), medicinal chemistry, and therapeutic antibody discovery (hybridoma, phage display, antibody humanization and maturation, Fab-antigen x-ray structure determination). The audience enjoyed the raffle drawing and actively participated in a fun interactive brain teasing session with gift cards rewarded to those who know the answers to the questions related to Viva services or technology platforms. Yinghong concluded that Viva Biotech is a midsized, client-centric and technology-driven CRO enabling both small molecule and biologics drug discovery.
