Why this briefing exists
Biotech Intelligence is written by Antony Tan, a computational biologist at Harvard with research experience at the Broad Institute and a publication at NeurIPS 2025. Fluent in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, Antony works directly from CDE filings, Tianyancha and GSXT corporate registries, and NMPA regulatory documents in their original language.
Every deal analysis, CDE translation, and corporate ownership map is built from primary sources. The same regulatory filings and registry databases used in institutional research, published openly each week.
Independence disclosure: Biotech Intelligence has no financial relationships with any company, institution, or government entity covered in this briefing. All analysis is independent.
