Leveraging its extensive technological expertise accumulated over the years, Miaoshun plans to expand into a broader range of cell types in the future. Building on its primary cell products, the company aims to position itself as a one-stop biomedical/CGT upstream supplier, offering a comprehensive portfolio that includes upstream consumables for various cell types and CRO services.

 

Zhang Jinbao, Founder and CEO of Miaoshun Bio, stated:We sincerely appreciate the attention and support from all institutions for Miaoshun Biotech. Since our establishment, we have been committed to positioning Miaoshun as a leading enterprise serving China’s biopharmaceutical companies. Following the completion of this financing round, we will consolidate our existing core businesses while accelerating the domestic and international commercialization of supporting reagents and consumables, as well as the implementation of new business ventures such as CRO services.
