Greetings from Dr. Sang Ki Rhee

Dear Dr. Kollias,

First of all, please take my deep apology for this belated message.

On behalf of KRIBB, I once again would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks to you for your excellent organization for an MOU exchange between KRIBB and BSRC Alexander Fleming on 4 Sept. 2006. It was a real pleasure for me and my colleagues to witness your facilities and recognize the enthusiasm for developing biotechnology at your institute.

I believe the MOU was a good starting point for promoting cooperation between us and hope that further deliberation will be followed at the working-level in the very near future. I will certainly give my full support for the research collaboration between scientists from both ends. In addition, I cordially invite you to KRIBB so that we could facilitate this collaboration for the next level.

Again, I would like to express my appreciation to you for your warm hospitality and look forward to the continuance for a long and mutually beneficial relationship between us.


With best regards,


Sang Ki Rhee, Ph.D.
President & CEO
