Gyeonggi-do is the center of bioengineering and pharmaceutical industries in which 30% of bioengineering and 60% of pharmaceutical companies in South Korea are located. It is home to many universities and research centers offering state-of-the-art technology and highly qualified manpower. In 2007, GyeongGi Province has found the GyeongGi Bio Center(GGBC) to support collaboration between bio and pharmaceutical industry and to promote related industrial development. We contribute to the growth of regional economy by focusing on innovative bio and pharmaceutical technology competencies, and by playing the role of a leader in the development of bio and pharmaceutical industries. GGBC takes the role of bridge in the valley of death in bio and pharmaceutical field through translational research, service for analysis & pilot production, and global networking. GGBC develops competitive lead and candidate for new drugs by utilizing high tech cell-based screening system (HCS/HTS) to cooperate between early stage techniques of university, industry, research institute. In case of supporting program of cutting-edge equipment, we have the best infrastructure for supporting research including analysis(LC-MS/MS, MALDI-TOF/TOF etc), screening(HTS, FACS Sorter etc), and pilot scale production(Fermenter/Bioreactor etc). Then we have provided various service to regional companies and institute, as analysis, screening service, and sharing equipment & facilities. Recently GGBC built high resolution mass spectrometer(LTQ-Orbitrap) and SPR Platform to offer upgraded services to support companies for the characterization of biologics and natural product resources. In addition, we will devote to build an optimal global network for importing and distributing state of the technology. Furthermore, the center is aimed to expand its support not only to the bio/pharmaceutical industries but to a broader range of related industries such as bio food, biochemical and bioenvironmental programs. All these support also goes to the start-up and fast-growing companies to ensure those who are needed enjoy our assistance.
