Recently, CCTV's "News Broadcast" reported on the exciting moments when journalists from multiple countries visited Nanjing to touch the pulse of cutting-edge industries.
From June 9th to 13th, the Information Office of The State Council held a series of theme interview activities titled "Foreign Media on China", inviting journalists from multiple countries to visit Jiangsu and other places to interview about the achievements of local innovation-driven development and promoting green development, and to witness the results and effectiveness of major economic provinces taking on leading roles.
On the first day of the event (June 9th), in the afternoon, a group of Chinese and foreign journalists visitedNanjing Biotech And Pharmaceutical Valley in Jiangbei New Area for an on-site investigation. Here, the journalists gained a deep understanding of the breakthrough progress in fields such as gene and cell therapy and high-end medical devices, and personally experienced the cutting-edge innovation pulse of China's biomedical industry
Genes are known as the "life code" of all things in the world. In the center of the exhibition hall, a large advanced gene sequencing device capable of cracking the "life code" has attracted the attention of many media reporters
According to Zhou Jinliang, the president and chief operating officer of Zhenmai Biotech, this ultra-high-throughput gene sequencer with the world's highest daily data output per unit was developed by Nanjing Zhenmai Biotechnology Co., LTD. It can complete over 23,000 whole-genome sequencers annually, significantly reducing the cost of gene sequencing while outproducing precise sequencing results.
Established in 2011,Nanjing Biotech And Pharmaceutical Valley has now developed an industrial pattern led by the gene and cell industry, with innovative drugs and high-end medical devices working in coordination, and the three chains of inspection and testing, CXO, and pharmaceutical distribution integrated. It has gathered over 1,300 biomedical enterprises.
This kind of inter-industry collaboration enables small enterprises to use related high-end equipment as well, helping them make progress in their work. I think this is a very interesting and excellent model. Aitkin, a reporter from Anadolu Agency of Turkey, said.
At the production base of Nanjing Reindeer Biotechnology Co., LTD., journalists used their cameras and pens to record the "innovation code" of the development of Nanjing's life and health industry. Reindeer Biotechnology has developed into a leading enterprise in the field of cell therapy in China with its independently innovative cell therapy drugs
Zhang Jinhua, the founder, chairman and CEO of Reindeer Biotech, a provincial "Innovation and Entrepreneurship Program" talent and a municipal innovative entrepreneur, introduced that the company currently has over ten innovative drugs at different research and development stages. Among them, the world's first fully human CAR-T product "Fukesu" independently developed by Reindeer Biotech was approved for marketing by the National Medical Products Administration of China in June 2023. After learning that Reindeer is exploring an innovative model of "producing drugs in Nanjing and supplying them overseas", journalists are all looking forward to such an overseas expansion model benefiting more patients.
