Project Pitch 1:

Translation of Innovative Drugs for Gene and Cell Therapy

Image

Tian Shuo, CEO of Guangzhou Dabo Biological Products Co., Ltd.

This project is one of the few CGT enterprises in China to have established a product matrix integrating oncolytic virus gene therapy, immune cell therapy, and stem cell therapy. It has built a scalable GMP-grade manufacturing and quality control system, and constructed a sustainable pipeline portfolio focused on oncology and regenerative medicine.This financing round primarily focuses on advancing the clinical development of innovative pipeline assets, with core assets including:


(1) E10B (Recombinant Human Interferon-gamma Adenovirus Injection): An adenovirus vector-based immunomodulatory agent that has completed Phase Ia clinical studies in advanced castration-resistant prostate cancer and is currently undergoing Phase Ib/II clinical studies.

(2) E10H (Autologous NK Cell Injection): The first non-genetically modified NK cell therapy in China, currently in Phase II clinical trials for gastrointestinal tumors, and has already been approved for clinical application in Beidaihe. Clinical filings under Order No. 818 are simultaneously being processed at multiple hospitals.

(3) E10I (Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell Injection): Currently conducting a double-blind Phase I/IIa clinical trial for the indication of Type 2 Diabetes. The single-dose administration for the first dose cohort has been completed, and preliminary efficacy has been observed;

(4) The multi-target oncolytic adenovirus (E10K series) has obtained approval for Phase I clinical trials.

Furthermore, the company has CAR-NK therapies and chip-validated personalized cancer vaccines nearing clinical trials, serving as platform extensions to enhance long-term value.

Zhang Yunfei, Business Analyst, Guangzhou Laien Biological Medicine Co., Ltd.

This project is a clinical-stage biotechnology company incubated by the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) in Singapore, focusing on and leading the global development of mRNA-encoded TCR-T cell therapies for the treatment of solid tumors and infectious diseases.


Project Highlights:

1. The core product is an mRNA-encoded TCR-T cell therapy targeting the hepatitis B virus (HBV) for the treatment of HBV-related diseases. It is the first cell therapy globally to receive FDA approval for conducting international multicenter Phase II clinical trials in liver cancer, and has been granted FDA Fast Track designation and Orphan Drug status.

2. In September 2025, the FDA approved the expansion of the Phase 1b/2 IND clinical trial for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B; implicit approval for the Phase 1/2 IND clinical trial has also been obtained from China’s NMPA.

Li Zhimin, Deputy General Manager, Guangdong Younuo Biomedical Technology Co., Ltd.

This ProjectIt is an advanced cell therapy manufacturing enterprise dedicated to the treatment of malignant solid tumors, one of the few industry leaders in China that has achieved commercial availability of its products in medical institutions, and is recognized as a National High-Tech Enterprise and a Guangdong Province Specialized, Refined, Differential, and Innovative Enterprise.


Project Highlights:

1. In 2018, the Company introduced LANEX-DC®, an autologous dendritic cell injection from Germany, to Macau and Guangzhou in the Greater Bay Area; the product was approved for marketing in Germany and the European Union in 2021 as an Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product (ATMP); it received clinical trial approval from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in 2023 under Category 3.2 for innovative drugs; in 2025, leveraging the national “first-to-try, first-to-implement” policy in the Hainan Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone, it achieved market launch and clinical application; in April 2026, it was ranked first among the inaugural batch of key incubation projects for clinical research on new biomedical technologies in the Guangzhou Development District.

2、The company has established five GMP-compliant production workshops in Huangpu District, Guangzhou. Its primary product is an autologous dendritic cell therapeutic injection for immune-related solid tumors. It has been approved for fee-based use at Hainan Boao Super Hospital for the indications of pancreatic cancer and colorectal cancer, making it one of only over twenty cell therapy products nationwide approved for compliant, fee-based clinical use. The company implements a “factory production–hospital fee-based treatment” dual-point sales model through head-to-head multidisciplinary team (MDT) consultations with hospitals.

Project Pitch 4:

Cell-Vaccine Therapeutics for the Functional Cure of HIV

Image

Tu Luoyang, Assistant to the General Manager, Guangzhou Qianyang Biomedical Technology Co., Ltd.

Established in 2017 by high-level talents introduced by the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, this project is based in Science City, Huangpu District, Guangzhou. Its core team comprises senior immunologists and virologists, specializing in the research and development of CAR-T immune cell therapy technologies for antiviral and antitumor applications.


Project Highlights:

1. The company is the first globally to employ CAR-T cell therapy for clearing the HIV-1 viral reservoir in patients, while simultaneously developing a broad-spectrum therapeutic vaccine for AIDS.

2. The company holds multiple invention patents and possesses sustained new drug development capabilities; it was recognized as a National High-Tech Enterprise in 2022. In 2025, this project received support as a “Disruptive Technology Innovation Project” from the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei National Technology Innovation Center.

Project Pitch 5:

Directionally Inducible Universal hiPSCsResearch on the Treatment of Neurodegenerative Diseases

Image

Xing Longbin, General Manager, Zhongke Meisi Life Science & Technology (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd.

This project is a cell therapy company centered on human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) technology, focusing on the development of druggable hiPSC-derived cell therapy products. The company’s core technology revolves around “directionally inducible universal hiPSCs,” leveraging multiple technological innovations to overcome the bottlenecks of traditional stem cell therapies and providing a novel solution for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.


Project Highlights:

1. Low immunogenicity: Allogeneic transplantation can be achieved without immunosuppressants, reducing treatment risks and costs;

2. Efficient Differentiation: Achieves directed differentiation into various neuronal types via the Tet-on system, enhancing therapeutic precision and efficacy;

3. Long-term Survival and Integration: Stem cells can survive for extended periods in vivo and effectively integrate into the host neural network, significantly improving patients' neurological function.

Through a series of roadshows and training activities, it aims to identify and support promising innovative projects.




Nansha Cell Therapy: A Policy Highland for Pilot Initiatives

As a national pioneer zone for cell and gene therapy, Nansha, Guangzhou also enjoys policy advantages in cutting-edge technological fields such as in vivo immune programming.

Policy Breakthrough:The “Nansha Opinions” explicitly permit cell and gene therapy companies, upon filing for record, to carry out the clinical application of restricted cell transplantation therapies in reliance on Grade A tertiary hospitals, thereby providing a ““Lab-to-Bedside” Policy Pathway Shortened to 1–2 Years

Clinical Basics:Nansha has successfully implemented 12 cell and gene therapy technologies, covering five disease indications with established reimbursement mechanisms, including β-thalassemia, liver failure, knee osteoarthritis, stroke, and Crohn’s disease-associated anal fistula. Additionally, projects for four other indications are currently underway. Relying on the Guangdong Medical Valley·Nansha Life Science Park, more than 40 cell and gene therapy enterprises have been clustered in the area, with cumulative investments in these park-based enterprises reaching nearly7 billion yuan

Platform Support:In March 2026, Nansha simultaneously launched two core platforms—Greater Bay Area Public Service Center for Cell and Gene Therapy Industry(investment of 68.15 million yuan) andGuangdong Province Stem Cell Full Life Cycle Data Management Platform, from quality testing to data traceability, a complete industrial support system has been established.

This means that as in vivo immune programming technology spills over from overseas to China, Nansha’s triple advantages in policy, clinical practice, and industry are poised to become a strategic foothold for domestic companies entering this sector.Preferred Landing Window
