Description:
Last month, U.S.-trained entrepreneur and researcher Cheng Jing was named head of a new, two-pronged biochip venture here that will be highly unusual even for China, which has been experimenting with academic-industrial arrangements in recent years. One part is a for-profit company backed by $48 million from a combination of national and academic partners and overseas venture capital. The second piece is a nonprofit national center with nearly $10 million in research funding from the Ministry of Science and Technology.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yimin, D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Dec 15;290(5499):2061-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11187827" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
