• We aim to establish a biotech company that utilizes novel technologies and platforms to fill in the gaps between in vivo modeling in large animals and R&D of therapeutic drugs as well as gene therapy strategies.

     

    Miniature swine is highly comparable to humans, in terms of anatomy, biology, metabolism, and genetics, etc. We are developing SPF, ABSL-2 and internationally certified miniature pig experimental platforms to generate key preclinical data and proof-of-concept(POC) required for clinical trials of new drugs.

     

    Our platform and technology not only accelerates the clinical transformation of drug candidates, but also replaces the use of dogs and primates in drug development. 

     

    We aspire to grow our company into the No.1 position in Asia and among the top three swine in vivo model companies globally, and to empower human health!
