Company Overview - A notable player in this space is Anmai Biotech, which is preparing for an IPO in Hong Kong and has gained attention for its BD transactions, accumulating over $2.1 billion in deal value since the end of 2023, ranking second globally in the TCE bispecific antibody sector [1][3]. - The founder, Wu Chenbing, previously served as the Chief Scientific Officer at 3SBio, indicating a strong lineage of expertise and a shift in Chinese biotech from "following" to "leading" in innovation [1][3].
