Core Viewpoint - AI has initiated a new revolution in the biopharmaceutical industry, with Chinese companies transitioning from "catching up" to "keeping pace" and even "leading" in some areas, although there is still a lack of world-class biopharmaceutical enterprises in China [2][4]. Summary by Sections AI Revolution in Biopharmaceuticals - AI is transforming drug discovery from a "needle in a haystack" approach to "precision targeting," significantly shortening research and development cycles and reducing costs [7]. - AI is integrated throughout the clinical development phase, enhancing overall research efficiency [7]. - AI is being utilized to guide patients in rational medication use, facilitating comprehensive health management throughout the patient care cycle [7]. Current Status of Chinese Biopharmaceuticals - China has entered the global first tier in terms of original new drug development, with over 50% of new drug clinical applications (IND) approved in the U.S. in 2024 originating from China [5]. - Chinese biopharmaceutical companies achieved a record of 12 oral presentations at the ASCO annual meeting, showcasing their innovative drugs that have demonstrated clinical efficacy comparable to leading global drugs [5]. Challenges and Opportunities - Despite significant advancements, challenges remain, including insufficient original innovation capabilities, inadequate accumulation of foundational life sciences theories and key technologies, and an imperfect collaborative innovation system between academia and industry [5]. - The key to overcoming these challenges lies in fostering a collaborative development across the entire industry, enhancing the cluster effect of the biopharmaceutical sector [5]. - There is a need to cultivate leading enterprises in the biopharmaceutical sector, akin to Huawei, to drive breakthroughs and elevate the industry to a higher level [5]. Future Directions - The global biopharmaceutical field is in a rapid development phase, with significant progress in frontier technologies such as gene editing, synthetic biology, and AI-enabled drug development [7]. - Achieving a "DeepSeek-level" breakthrough requires efforts in six areas: deep accumulation of basic sciences, interdisciplinary integration, high-quality large-scale data sharing platforms, efficient innovation transformation mechanisms, an open international cooperation environment, and a sound regulatory framework [7].
