TransDerm provides technology to deliver biologically active molecules to the skin, with emphasis on nucleic acid therapies for gene-silencing and, more recently, on skin-based vaccines. TransDerm is funded though private capital and public and private grants including N.I.H. and the Gates Foundation. Transderm has multiple proprietary delivery platforms including topical products and micron scale Protrusion Array Devices (PADs) capable of delivering nucleic acid payloads with subsequent cellular uptake and activity. Capsulent delivers controlled-release compositions using proprietary charged-film microcapsule. This platform technology was initially developed for pharmaceutical applications, and provides useful skin-based delivery characteristics. However, these encapsulates have shown utility for a wide variety of industries including industrial and mass-market consumer product sectors. Capsulent was founded as a bootstrap startup in 2004. Dr. Speaker was recently named as a recipient of a Bill and Melinda Gates Grand Challenges Explorations grant for work at TransDerm on a novel dry-stable patch-based malaria vaccine. He joined TransDerm in a consulting capacity in 2007, and is now on staff, while maintaining his position at Capsulent. At TransDerm, he led the development of a novel microneedle technology that has become the PAD system, and continues to develop this platform for new applications and toward mass-manufacturing. At Capsulent, he splits time between managing new business relationships and marrying the technology to new application prototypes, while manufacturing of fully developed products is handled at an East Coast affiliate firm. Prior to founding Capsulent, Dr. Speaker spent most of a decade in the semiconductor industry working in a variety of manufacturing engineering and technical roles at Applied Komatsu Technologies, an Applied Materials subsidiary, and then at dpiX, a Xerox PARC spin-off. He holds a bachelor's degree in biochemistry from Temple University, and a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of California, Santa Cruz.

本次年會以「生物科技未來發展新趨勢」為主題，深入探討生命科學技術和生物經濟兩大主軸的前景。講題包括潔淨能源、幹細胞在在再生醫學上的應用、生物燃料、生技製藥研發，以及亞太地區與美國在生物科技產業的關聯性等。
會長章玲表示，華人生物科技協會在矽谷成立已超過10年。協會的宗旨是促進業界交流，並提供合作網路。過去10多年中，華人生技協會成功舉辦數百項活動，幫助許多科學家、博士後以及大學生找到理想工作，或者改變職場道路。近年來會員人數不斷增長。
她指出，今年年會主題是「生物科技未來發展新趨勢」，會上邀請多位生技專家和業界領袖展示生物科技研發最新成就，以及展現全球生物科技帶來的商機。與會者包括本地科學家和企業家、政府官員、公司總裁、投資家以及普通民眾。
會上紅木城Codexis生技公司的高級研發副總裁David Anton，主講通過DNA重組來改進生物基因，使生物向指定的方向演化。這項技術不僅可用在製藥生產，更可以有效地從再生資源中開發生物燃料。
Geron公司幹細胞研發小組領導人Arjun Natesan主講幹細胞在再生醫學中的應用。他表示，由於幹細胞研究存在爭議，他的公司過去申請研究經費一直都很困難，不得不自己開展許多基礎研究，但這種局面正在改變。
會上還邀請南舊金山LS9公司開發副總裁黃偉討論微生物技術平台，以及生技界產業專家劉南謙作專題演講。
