"Intelligence Gathering for New Growth, Ecosystem Co-creation – 2025 Changzhou Zhonglou Synthetic Biology AI Research Institute Key Projects Centralized Signing Ceremony" Held at the Zhonglou District Public Health Center in Changzhou City on October 18. This signing focuses on industry pain points and people's needs, covering three major areas: platform cooperation, innovation incubation, and intelligent health. Eleven cutting-edge projects will inject new momentum into the high-quality development of the synthetic biology AI industry.

Platform Cooperation: Strengthening the "Solid Support" for Industrial Empowerment

During the event, the first set of five platform cooperation projects targeted the weaknesses in industrial foundational capabilities, establishing a full-chain service system "from technology to implementation." Among them,iFlytekThe Joint Research Institute Builds an "AI + Industry Integration Platform," Providing Full-cycle Services from "Basic Data - Computing Power - AI Algorithms - Experimental Simulation - R&D Implementation"; The Changzhou Xitaihu Cell Therapy Research Institute Tackles "AI-empowered Cell Therapy," Focusing on Breakthroughs in Solid Tumor Treatment; The Changzhou Data Group Activates the Value of Public Data, Providing Data Support for Industrial Development.

Innovation Incubation: Accelerating the Process of Turning Research into Revenue

Three Innovative Incubation Projects Drive the Transformation of Scientific Research Achievements into Industrial Breakthroughs. Primary Biotech and Zhihe Lianjian Co-built the “AI Synthetic Biology Computing Platform” to reduce the cost of anti-tumor drug development; Chenlian Medical Transmission partnered with Peking University Third Hospital to advance the “AI Intelligent Recognition Project,” promoting the standardization of ROSI technology in the reproductive field; Zhikemilin Biotech’s “Biomolecular Simulation Platform” provides a technical foundation for precision medicine and modern agriculture.

Yang Jiangjin, Chairman of United Inspection (Jiangsu) Technology Co., Ltd., one of the founding units of the Research Institute, stated: "We are selecting high-quality ecological enterprises to sign contracts with. Subsequently, we will collaborate with the government to ensure logistical support and industrial synergy, relying on relevant platform funds to strengthen capital support. We will prioritize building a talent hub and accelerate the transformation of scientific achievements."

Intelligent Health: Anchoring the "Warm Direction" of People's Livelihood Needs

Three Intelligent Health Projects Tackle People's Livelihood Pain Points. Changzhou Simiao Health integrates traditional health preservation with biotechnology to launch the "Synthetic Biologics Functional Food Healthcare Project"; HIT TianyuRobotThe "AI Intelligent Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy Project" has been implemented to enhance the integration of medical, rehabilitation, and elderly care services; the "Health Data Management Project" at Shanghai Huiyuan Hospital is driving the shift in health services from "passive treatment" to "active prevention."

Academic Exchange: Exploring the Future Path of the Industry Together

After the signing ceremony, experts including Dr. Zhang Li from Peking University Third Hospital and Huang Bo, Dean of iFlytek-Taizhou Medical Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, interpreted trends with case studies around the theme of "Biological Intelligent Manufacturing — When Artificial Intelligence Meets Synthetic Biology."

Vice President of Guangdong University of Technology's Health and Wellness Research Institute, Ding Zhen, revealed: "The business environment in Zhong Building is 'warm and efficient,' which strengthens our confidence. Subsequently, the 'Tongue Diagnosis Instrument Project' will be implemented, using AI + TCM to analyze facial and tongue images for constitutional differentiation and health risk prediction."

Next, Zhonglou District will continue to focus on cultivating the synthetic biology AI industry as a strategic emerging direction. It will further strengthen platform support and build a "five-in-one" industrial science and technology innovation ecosystem around "capital empowerment, platform foundation strengthening, talent introduction and cultivation, enterprise capacity enhancement, and incubator construction." Efforts will be made to enhance collaborative research in core areas such as artificial intelligence algorithms and bio big data analysis, promoting more scientific and technological achievements to take root, blossom, and bear fruit in Zhonglou. Meanwhile, Zhonglou will, as always, optimize the government service environment, policy environment, and resource allocation to provide full-cycle service guarantees for project implementation and enterprise development, ensuring that all innovative entities can invest with confidence, start businesses smoothly, and develop with peace of mind in Zhonglou.
