maET SUMMIT may provide spur to R&D based integration between private-public institutions. A strong interdisciplinary thinking within institute and without institute is need of day and cities like Delhi, Chandiagrh and Lucknow need to be made centre of 'research and development integration' through 'well understood and well designed policy framework' shared by both by state and Union government. This sharing should be translated in form of incentive to BIOPHARMA/BIOTECH PARKS on the tune of IT PARK.

In Hisar, a hub of 'Anibody based drugs' is being promoted at 'Knowledge Park, Hisar'. A plan to manufacture 'plantibody and plant-based vaccine' is being 'drafted'.

An international Conference on 'Immunobiological and Biopharmaceuticals' is being held in Feb 2009 and we would be thoroughly agreeing to work in a manner which ET Summit did.

This summit is for making 'animal healthcare affordable through biopharmaceuticals and production technologies like Embryo Transfer'.

Inputs are welcome and may contact Dr Jagveer Rawat at ficats@rediffmail.com or www.pie-forum.org
