Welcome to the 2009 Tri-State CACS Annual Symposium!

On behalf of the Tri-State CACS, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to our sponsors and to our volunteers for their support and contributions to the cause of our organization.

Over the past decade, pharmaceutical industry have gone through many changes and had its prospective years. However, despite steady demand for its products, the industry’s current business model is both economically and operationally challenged. Meanwhile, the world is witnessing fast economic development in Asia, particularly in China. Therefore, the American chemical and pharmaceutical industries as a whole and the Chinese-American chemical professionals in particular, are presented with unprecedented challenges and opportunities in this rapid changing environment. After the successful Beijing International Pharmaceutical & Chemical Intellectual Property Forum and International Pharmaceutical R&D Forum, CACS has started a new mission to promote dialogues and collaborations in chemical and pharmaceutical R&D organizations between the US and China. This year’s theme, “Innovation and Entrepreneurships in Pharmaceutical and Chemical R&D”, continues on last years’ theme and reflects some of the current industry trends in combating the economic downturn.

We are extremely excited to have a group of high-caliber R&D leaders from major chemical & pharmaceutical companies to share their visions and thoughts about the future growth drivers for our industries in the current environment. Among them are Dr. Gregory J. Szpunar, Senior Vice President of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Drug Metabolism of Schering-Plough Research Institute, Dr. Arthur A. Andrews, Vice President of Global Drug Product Development of Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical R&D, Dr. Paul Juniewicz, Senior Vice President & Head for Global External Innovation Access, sanofiaventis, and Dr. Nilesh Shah, Research & Development Director, Household & Personal Care, Dow Advanced Materials. In addition, an introduction to ACS Diversity Partner Program will be presented by Dr. Guang Cao of Exxon Mobile with a focus on Asian chemical professionals. As always, entrepreneurs in smaller research and service business are well-presented in the symposium and for a second year, we will also feature a vendor show as well.

Enjoy the symposium.

For over a quarter of a century, CACS has continued to promote cohesion among Chinese-American chemical professionals, and to address their common interests and concerns. In addition to holding events like this, Tri-State CACS has continued Young Chemist Awards to help cultivate interests in chemical sciences among high school students. We also initiated a mentoring program to help junior colleagues gain a quick footing in their respective careers in the US.

Please join us as we face new challenges and new opportunities!
