Great Bay Bio, a leading AI biotechnology company dedicated to big data-driven CMC (Chemistry Manufacturing and Controls) development of innovative biologics, on 12 August 2019, announced the establishment of its 3D Advisory Board. The board of directors eagerly welcome two top industry elites, Dr. Katie Su and Mr. Aaron Wang, to the company. They will cooperate with the board and advise the senior management team on a range of company matters including, strategic positioning, product portfolio composition, technical troubleshooting, and general management. More importantly, the 3D Advisory Board will bring a series of forward-looking concepts from both commercial and scientific arenas, to propose new and efficient solutions to market problems. The establishment of the 3D Advisory Board is of great significance to the company's value proposition. Great Bay Bio's mission is to "Face Future Challenges with 3D Innovation". By combining three verticals of innovation "business foresight + science-based foundation + technology-driven", new breakthroughs can be hatched. Currently, the company will form three separate sub-committees (Business, Science and Technology) to provide a solid foundation for Great Bay Bio's mission and, ultimately reach the company's vision of "Making Biologics Development Easy For Everyone".

On the establishment of the 3D Advisory Board and the addition of the two industry elites, Mr Kingsley Leung, Chairman and Co-founder of Great Bay Bio, said: "The arrival of Dr Su and Mr Wang is undoubtedly one of the most important milestones of Great Bay Bio. I am very grateful and honoured to have such high-calibre and brilliant individuals become the first members of the Advisory Board. One school of thought of innovation is Recombinant Innovation; the idea in which innovation breakthrough does not come from facile forms of creativity or out-of-the-box thinking, but from combining old ideas together to form new ones that fit the context of need. Actually, many of today's innovation follow this school of thought, such as the first smartphone; a combination of "older" innovation from different fields and disciplines to form a world-changing device. We believe that the best innovation comes from a collaboration between people from different backgrounds and expertise, and this is why we have structured our Advisory Board this way. The challenge of making traditional high-cost CMC cheap is a difficult one to solve, and that is why we believe Recombinant Innovation is our best shot of tackling it."
