TAIPEI ⇄ BOSTON · BIOTECH BRIDGE

The bridge between Asia’s science and Boston’s biotech.

We help Asian biotech companies enter the U.S. market, and bring students — from middle and high school to university — into the Greater Boston ecosystem, pairing hands-on biotech R&D with business strategy, from the lab to the boardroom.

Founded by a biotech scientist and an MIT Sloan MBA · Somerville, MA

ONE BRIDGE · TWO DIRECTIONS

Who we bring across.

The same network, technical depth and on-the-ground execution — applied to companies going to market and institutions coming to learn.

01 · FOR COMPANIES

Cross-Border Market Entry & Development Partners

For biotech and medtech teams expanding between the U.S. and Taiwan — in either direction.

 

— Market entry and landing, U.S. ⇄ Taiwan

— CDMO matching for GLP and GMP production

— Preclinical and first-in-human study partners

— Human-sample access for medical-device testing

02 · FOR SCHOOLS & UNIVERSITIES

Boston Biomedical Immersion Programs

Structured, curriculum-driven programs that bring Taiwanese students — from middle school to university — into Greater Boston's labs, clinics and companies.

 

— Curriculum tailored to each age group and academic track

— Invited scholar sessions and planned lab & institution visits

— Biotech industry visits across Greater Boston

— On-site management, daily briefings and student mentoring

WHY LUTRA

Science meets strategy.

Why biotech teams and schools on both sides of the Pacific work with us.

STUDENT PROGRAMS

Taiwan Global Pathfinders

A PhD bioengineer with CMC and manufacturing depth, and an MIT Sloan MBA who moved from R&D at Pfizer into business development. Every engagement gets both.

Jessica mentors in The Loop, LabCentral's program for international biotech startups entering Boston. We bring that network to every client.

We completed our first Taiwan Global Pathfinders Initiative (TGPI) program with Taiwan’s Ministry of Education in 2026, and two more have been awarded for 2027, bringing Taiwanese students into Greater Boston’s biotech labs and companies.
