Dr Wang Yinxiang, chairman; and Dr Hu Shaojing, President (R&D); of Jacobio Pharmaceutical; share the exciting story behind Jacobio’s establishment in 2015, their ambition to become a global biopharma player with the plan of launching at least one IND every year and to open a research lab in Boston; and their perspectives on how the Chinese biopharma landscape has changed in the past 15 years and how Jacobio must position itself for success in this dynamic environment as not a Chinese player but a global player.
We cannot focus only on the Chinese market. China may be the second-largest pharmaceutical market in the world but it still represents only 10 percent of the global market. For a company to succeed, we have to set the bar high. We want to develop a first-in-class drug that meets the needs of the global market
