    .

    Open the era of commercialization of personalized gene carriers and help Chinese gene drugs achieve "corner overtaking"

    In view of the problems of low efficiency, long time consuming and high cost of vector construction faced by hundreds of thousands of life science laboratories around the world, Yunzhou Biotech's world's first online vector intelligent design platform "VectorBuilder", combined with the offline high-throughput intelligent production management platform, enables highly personalized carriers to achieve large-scale and standardized industrial production, greatly improving efficiency and saving costs
    .
    The innovation of Yunzhou Biologics from 0 to 1 has opened the era of commercialization of personalized gene vectors and contributed important value
    to the acceleration of global life science research.

    Gene delivery is a key link in the development of gene drugs, and the current global gene drug industry is in a relatively early stage, which is an important track and key opportunity
    for China to achieve "corner overtaking" in the biomedical industry.
    In the clinical carrier CRO and gene drug CDMO sector, Yunzhou Biotech helps gene drug companies accelerate the drug cycle and empower the research and development and clinical application
    of gene drugs with its core technology research and development and production capabilities.
