09/04/2008 (Agence Europe) -On 31 March, the Spanish bio-industry association (ASEBIO) published a poster representing all medical drugs and devices being researched by Spanish biotechnology companies. Nearly 28 companies are contributing to a total of 119 projects on drugs and diagnosis systems for human use and 12 products for the treatment of animals. Most of the treatments are at pre-clinical research stage, although 40 tests are already underway on patients. From 17 to 19 September 2008, the fourth International Convention on biotechnologies will be held (BIOSPAIN 2008), in Grenada.
