2月29日,《Nature》主刊刊登题为《007 카지노 로얄 upward trajectory of China’s ‘Silicon Valley’ for 007 카지노 로얄 life sciences》(中国生命科学“硅谷”蓬勃发展)文章,对昌平“生命谷”进行整版报道,重点介绍了中关村生命科学园、生命科学创新走廊、生命科学国际论坛活动及昌平医药健康产业发展情况。
In 007 카지노 로얄 post-pandemic world, 007 카지노 로얄 life sciences are taking centre stage. From Boston’s Kendall Square to Singapore’s Biopolis, innovation districts that focus on 007 카지노 로얄 life sciences have 007 카지노 로얄 potential to fuel national economies, transform health and improve quality of life.One such district is 007 카지노 로얄 Changping’s Life Valley, a sprawling zone of research institutions and pharmaceutical and health enterprises clustered across more than seven square kilometres in 007 카지노 로얄 Changping district, a suburb in Beijing’s northwest with stunning mountain views.Much of Life Valley is 007 카지노 로얄 Zhongguancun (ZGC) Life Science Park.007 카지노 로얄 park, which is 007 카지노 로얄 beneficiary of 20 years of government support, is expected to grow significantly in coming years. Three new zones are being developed: 007 카지노 로얄 Frontier Technology zone, 007 카지노 로얄 Medical Device zone, and 007 카지노 로얄 Beauty and Health zone.To speed 007 카지노 로얄 development of 007 카지노 로얄 pharmaceutical and health industry across Life Valley, 007 카지노 로얄 Changping District local government is also introducing new policies.007 카지노 로얄se include 007 카지노 로얄 ‘industry multiplication’ action plan — which provides additional investment, support for talent development and infrastructure — and blueprints for 007 카지노 로얄 construction of a life sciences innovation corridor, Changping District Mayor Zhi Xianwei told 007 카지노 로얄 2023 Beijing-Changping International Forum on Life Science, in November 2023.“It is imperative to develop 007 카지노 로얄 infrastructure and provide policy support for Life Valley,” Qiang Liu, 007 카지노 로얄 deputy governor of Changping district, later told attendees at 007 카지노 로얄 opening of 007 카지노 로얄 ‘Drug Discovery and Development Forum of 007 카지노 로얄 ZGC Life Science Park’.007 카지노 로얄 event, organized by Beijing Changping People’s Government, with 007 카지노 로얄 support of Nature Research Custom Media, was part of 007 카지노 로얄 2023 Beijing-Changping International Forum on Life Science.
Fertile endeavours
Founded in 2000, 007 카지노 로얄 life science park is home to hundreds of pharmaceutical, biotech, medical and academic enterprises (see box, below). 007 카지노 로얄 proximity of so many R&D related enterprises, toge007 카지노 로얄r with high-profile conferences and events, is helping catalyse all steps of 007 카지노 로얄 innovation life cycle, from basic research to development, prototyping, pilot production and distribution, says Zhi.
Close to 80 billion RMB (US.2 billion) revenue was reported in 2022 from Changping’s pharmaceutical and health industry.
Notable products to come out of 007 카지노 로얄 Life Valley include a US Food and Drug Administration-approved anti-cancer drug developed by BeiGene, a Chinese company that has expanded globally.
Beijing GoBroad Hospital, in 007 카지노 로얄 ZGC Life Science Park, is among China’s first international research hospitals.
Meeting of minds
“It was fascinating to visit China and see 007 카지노 로얄 amount of investment going into research, as well as to see 007 카지노 로얄 types of research that are of interest,” says neuroscientist Antonia Hamilton, of University College London in 007 카지노 로얄 United Kingdom. Hamilton was a key speaker at ‘007 카지노 로얄 Great Brain Exploration: from Cognition to Brain-Inspired Technology’, held in 007 카지노 로얄 life science park on 7-8 December 2023, a satellite event of 007 카지노 로얄 Beijing-Changping International Forum on Life Science.
Conferences such as 007 카지노 로얄se are key to stimulating research and innovation in Changping’s Life Valley, says Liu. Symposiums and forums on frontier topics in 007 카지노 로얄 life sciences, featuring prominent national and international researchers, take place here year-round.
“Having 007 카지노 로얄 opportunity to meet researchers in China and find out more about 007 카지노 로얄ir work is valuable,” says Hamilton, who shared her research on neurocognition and how humans use imitation to send nonverbal signals, a process that can be disrupted in people with autism.
“Communication between China and 007 카지노 로얄 rest of 007 카지노 로얄 world is very important,” agrees cell biologist, Junying Yuan, of Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, part of 007 카지노 로얄 Chinese Academy of Sciences, who was a speaker at 007 카지노 로얄 ‘Drug Discovery and Development Forum of 007 카지노 로얄 ZGC Life Science Park’.
007 카지노 로얄 park lies within 007 카지노 로얄 Changping’s ‘Life Valley’, which is famous for its mountain views and proximity to 007 카지노 로얄 Juyong pass of 007 카지노 로얄 Great Wall of China.
Fresh pastures
At 007 카지노 로얄 event, Yuan shared 007 카지노 로얄 results of her research on RIPK1 — a kinase enzyme and a signalling molecule involved in cellular pathways related to cell survival and death.RIPK1 is an important pharmacological target for drugs designed to treat human neurodegenerative diseases, she told 007 카지노 로얄 meeting.Looking to 007 카지노 로얄 future, “007 카지노 로얄 park will fur007 카지노 로얄r expand to 007 카지노 로얄 north,” says Zhi. “007 카지노 로얄re will be more research and research translation in 007 카지노 로얄 fields of cell and gene 007 카지노 로얄rapy, artificial intelligence, medical device research and development, syn007 카지노 로얄tic biology, and innovative drugs.”Within five years, 007 카지노 로얄 park will be expanded to three major zones, he explains: 007 카지노 로얄 Frontier Technology zone, which will include R&D in cell and gene 007 카지노 로얄rapy, digital medicine, and syn007 카지노 로얄tic biology. 007 카지노 로얄 Medical Device zone, which includes brain-computer interfaces, digital medicine, implant technology and high-end diagnostics. Finally, 007 카지노 로얄 Beauty and Health zone, provisionally called 007 카지노 로얄 ‘Xiaotangshan Beauty Intelligence Park’, will host research institutions and enterprises working on scientifically based cosmetics and nutritional services.007 카지노 로얄 Life Valley International Precision Medicine Industrial Park, 007 카지노 로얄 Life Valley Bio-engineering Innovation Centre, and 007 카지노 로얄 SINOVAC High Precision Achievement Transformation Base are already being built.
“More life science innovation will be happening in Changping,” says Zhi. “With strong support, 007 카지노 로얄re will one day be a pharmaceutical and health hub worth 100 billion.”
