The International Complete Collection of R&D Information about Traditional Chinese Materia Medica (TCMM) and Biotechnology (BT) Enterprises is designed as an informative medicinal reference directory listing of up-to-date R&D information about TCMM, medical biotechnology, and related medical equipment companies. The focus of this valuable and practical directory is on providing a comprehensive coverage of the most recent developments in scientific research, patents and major products of about 3,000 companies from 50 countries covering the five continents: Asia, Europe, America, Africa and the Oceania. The resource material and information are relevant and compulsory to practitioners and professionals in the fields of TCMM, medical biotechnology, biochemical industry and related medical instrumentation/equipment, as well as to organizational departments of the medicinal information management, intelligence, logistics and trade. The directory also opens up and serves as an important window through which biotech professionals master product information of their counterparts across the world. The directory will benefit professionals of medical heath, TCMM, biotechnology and related fields, as well as academics and students, executives of research, information media staffs and translators.
