Publication Date:2023-12-08

On November 24, 2023, the "2023 Fudan Summit on Drug Innovation" hosted by the School of Pharmacy, Fudan University, opened in Zhangjiang, Shanghai. The event attracted approximately 20,000 participants both online and offline.

The summit centered on themes such as drug target discovery, original drugs, advanced formulations, and drug evaluation, targeting the latest frontiers in new drug research and development. It addressed issues including new technologies and methodologies for new drug innovation, as well as the transfer and transformation of biomedical achievements from universities. Renowned pharmaceutical experts from domestic and international universities and research institutions, leading figures in pharmaceutical company research and development, experts in the field of drug regulation, and young talents dedicated to new drug research and development were invited to participate and engage in discussions. The aim was to foster exchanges and cooperation among academia, industry, hospitals, and regulatory authorities, bridge the "translational gap" between "basic research" and "new drug innovation," establish the Zhangjiang-Fudan Innovation Ecosystem for New Drug Creation, and propel China's new drug innovation towards original, sustainable, and circular innovation. This, in turn, would contribute to China's leapfrog development from being a "big pharmaceutical country" to a "strong pharmaceutical country."

The two-day summit featured sub-forums on "Discovery of Original Drug Targets," "Discovery of Original Drugs," "Research on Advanced Formulations," and "New Technologies and Clinical Evaluation in Pharmaceuticals," as well as roundtable forums on "New Paths for Interdisciplinary Integration in Biomedicine" and "Opportunities and Challenges in the Transformation of Innovative Pharmaceutical Achievements from Universities."

Professor ZHAO Bing, the Principal Scientist of bioGenous, was invited to attend the summit and delivered a keynote speech titled "Applications of Organoid Technology in Disease Modeling and Translational Medicine." Additionally, he engaged in discussions with other attendees on the sub-forum theme of "New Technologies and Clinical Evaluation in Pharmaceuticals."

The "2023 Fudan Summit on Drug Innovation" leveraged the geographical advantages of Zhangjiang as a hub for biomedical sciences, integrating talents and corporate resources dedicated to new drug development, and emphasizing interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation. It provided a platform for experts and peers in the biomedical field to exchange ideas and cooperate. bioGenous will continue to focus on breakthroughs in cutting-edge organoid technology, the development of innovative application models, and the establishment of high-standard, high-throughput pipelines. With a comprehensive organoid service ecosystem, bioGenous aims to accelerate advancements in life sciences research and the pharmaceutical industry.
