Your Biotech Home

ASEBIO, with the support of the Foundation for the Science and the Technology (FECYT) and the collaboration of MERCK, AMGEN and FERRER IN CODE, has started a new and innovative initiative for the popularization of the biotechnology: the exhibition "Your Biotech Home".

"Your Biotech Home"lets the visitor discover that the biotechnology is already present in our daily life, through a domestic environment where different contributions, products and biotechnological processes that belong to our life can be exhibited.

"Your Biotech Home" will be located in different Spanish localities. More than 10.000 people have already enjoyed the exhibition in Madrid in the Museum Cosmocaixa (April 4th to April 12th) and in Salamanca during the First Biotechnology Week (April 20th to April 24th).

Dentro del marco de la Feria Internacional de Biotecnología, BIOSPAIN2010, y con la colaboración de la compañia farmaceútica Merck Sharp & Dohme (MSD), Tu Casa Biotech se expondrá de manera gratuita en la Plaza de Baluarte de Pamplona del 23 de septiembre al 4 de octubre.

European Markets and Spain: Strategies of collaboration and technological joint development in biotechnology (Program Eureka)
