In 2020, less than 5% of large pharmaceutical transactions worth $50 million or more upfront involved China. By 2024, that number had surged to nearly 30%, according to DealForma.

For now, much of China’s biotech innovation is incremental rather than groundbreaking. Many companies focus on improving existing drugs—tweaking the chemistry, enhancing efficacy or differentiating them in key ways. But Chinese innovation is steadily improving and is already starting to disrupt the U.S. drug-development ecosystem. For decades, the U.S. biotech industry has thrived in hubs such as Boston-Cambridge and the San Francisco Bay Area, fueled by talent streaming from top academic centers like Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford University. Those biotech companies have an insatiable client in Big Pharma, which is willing to pay top dollar for new drugs to replace those going off-patent.

WHAT’S NEWS Chinese Biotech Is Having A DeepSeek Moment

The deal: $112 million upfront, with potential milestone payments of up to $1.9 billion. A year earlier, AstraZeneca made a similar move, paying $185 million upfront with future milestones totaling nearly $1.83 billion in a deal with China’s Eccogene. These “bargain” deals are great for Big Pharma. But for U.S. biotech companies—and their venture-capital backers—they are creating real challenges. Investors increasingly struggle to value early-stage biotechs because it is difficult to predict what competition might emerge from China. That is at least part of the reason why the S&P Biotech ETF has been basically flat over the past two years, while the S&P 500 has surged 48%. “It’s unquestionable that this has been a big negative for the U.S. biotech ecosystem,” said Tim Opler, a managing director of investment banking at Stifel. “The real question now is how to adapt.

What matters is that it works. But for policymakers focused on maintaining America’s competitive edge, China’s biotech surge is a wake-up call. The innovation race isn’t limited to AI or crypto—it extends deep into life sciences. Summit’s partnership with Akeso didn’t go unnoticed by Merck. Just months after Summit’s clinical-trial results, Merck said it had licensed another promising cancer drug that essentially followed the Summit-Akeso approach of a dual-target antibody that hits both PD-1, an immune checkpoint that cancers exploit to hide from the immune system, and VEGF, a protein that helps tumors grow new blood vessels. And where did Merck find this drug? At a private biotech company, LaNova Medicines, based in Shanghai. “If you’re looking for innovation,” Duggan, Summit’s billionaire leader said in a recent interview, “that’s the logical place to go.”
是吧。。 听说疫情后扩招了很多，去年还是前年在裁员。现在还没好起来吗？ medical lab scientist
这个倒是不了解，我也在想换工作，共勉！
fda刚裁3500人 川总现在属于可劲儿报复大蓝州呢。。。
有些州需要，有些州不是必须
那就没有找biotech的必要了吧。LOL。 听说biotech和药厂去年是一片哀嚎 到处在裁人。今年也一样么
嗯嗯共勉共勉。加油加油
好吧。😭

药厂外包一点不比cs 差。
听朋友说以前药厂的bio analysis是药厂很大的department，人很多。现在这个部分工作外包给印度，样品都运动到印度分析。
那看来得转行往regulatory 上面靠啊
那做临床试验的crc。cra岂不是缺口很大
哪家啊，Kymera?
