At the meeting, Mr. Le Van Khoa - Chairman of the Board of Directors, General Director of GeneViet Molecular Biology Joint Stock Company - reported and proposed the development orientation of biotechnology and gene technology enterprises in Vietnam, affirming that gene technology and precision medicine are becoming important development trends in the world - especially in the fields of prevention, diagnosis and individualized treatment. Business leaders believe that Vietnam has a lot of potential to develop the biotechnology industry if it is supported synchronously with data infrastructure, research mechanisms and connecting the innovation ecosystem. Download Mr. Le Van Khoa - Chairman of the Board of Directors, General Director of GeneViet reported at the meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Ho Quoc Dung GeneViet is currently investing in a biotechnology laboratory system at NIC Hoa Lac with a scale of nearly 1,000 m2, aiming to become a center for research and application of gene technology, molecular biology and precision medicine on a large scale in Vietnam. GeneViets laboratory system is built according to international standards with clean molecular separation areas, a positive pressure system equivalent to an operating room and strict sterility control procedures to serve in-depth genetic research and analysis. Not only focusing on testing and applied research, GeneViet currently also participates in implementing many projects serving State agencies as well as socially meaningful programs related to gene decoding, genetic screening and preventive medicine. Gen Viet emphasized that international cooperation with JS Link (Korea) - a unit operating in the field of human genome decoding and biotechnology - not only helps businesses access new technology but also improves operating standards, research capacity and genetic data security in an international direction. From practical activities, Mr. Le Van Khoa proposed a number of solution groups to promote the biotechnology field in Vietnam to develop stronger in the coming time. In particular, it is recommended to soon complete the legal corridor for the application of genetic data in preventive medicine and individualization of treatment; building a Vietnamese gene data bank to serve scientific research and precision medicine development; At the same time, strengthen the connection mechanism between biotechnology enterprises and the health system, logistics and related units. Mr. Le Van Khoa said that biotechnology is a field that requires long investment time, large research costs and high quality human resources. Therefore, GeneViet hopes that the State will continue to improve practical support mechanisms for Vietnamese businesses to gradually master gene technology, biotechnology and precision medicine in the future. Evaluating the proposals of businesses, Deputy Prime Minister Ho Quoc Dung acknowledged the initiative of units like Gene Viet in researching, accessing and gradually mastering difficult technologies with high knowledge content. The Deputy Prime Minister affirmed: The Government always prioritizes creating favorable conditions in terms of mechanisms and policies for biotechnology and artificial intelligence businesses to develop strongly at NIC. Fields directly related to health such as gene technology need to be invested methodically and with a long-term vision.
