Sanyou Biopharmaceuticals and Shanghai ZJ Bio-Tech Forge Strategic Partnership to Accelerate Automated Development of Innovative Biologics

04 November 2025 | Tuesday | News


The collaboration integrates Sanyou’s AI-powered Super-Trillion Molecule Library with ZJ Bio-Tech’s intelligent automation systems to shorten drug discovery timelines, enhance R&D efficiency, and advance next-generation biologic innovation globally.

Sanyou Biopharmaceuticals (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Sanyou Bio") and Shanghai ZJ Bio-Tech technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Shanghai ZJ Bio-Tech") jointly announced the official signing of a strategic cooperation agreement on the automated development of innovative biologics. This collaboration aims to jointly tackle drug development bottlenecks by introducing automation technology to significantly shorten the R&D cycle for innovative drugs.

According to the agreement, Sanyou Bio will upgrade the development process through automation, substantially reducing the R&D timeline for innovative drugs. Through this strategic cooperation, Sanyou Bio will systematically upgrade its antibody drug molecule screening process, thereby freeing up scientific talent to focus more on creative work. Simultaneously, the more precise and stable automated processes will greatly enhance the efficiency of R&D budget utilization.

The significance of this strategic cooperation between Sanyou Bio and Shanghai ZJ Bio-Tech extends beyond "shortening the R&D cycle." It lies in enhancing the predictability and output efficiency of the R&D process, stimulating momentum for source innovation, and reshaping core corporate competitiveness through technological integration and strategic synergy. The collaborative outcomes will further advance the development of innovative antibody drugs and diagnostic/therapeutic technologies within the context of intelligent healthcare, ultimately benefiting patient populations globally.

This cooperation will fully leverage Sanyou Bio's strengths in its globally leading AI-powered Super-Trillion Molecule Library (AI-STAL) technology, as well as intelligent drug screening and preclinical research. Combined with Shanghai ZJ Bio-Tech's automated smart system, the partnership is committed to significantly accelerating the drug development process.

Ms. Ni Weiqin, Deputy General Manager and Board Secretary of Shanghai ZJ Bio-Tech, stated: "We look forward to breaking down the barriers of traditional R&D models through this collaboration and jointly creating a new digital-intelligent paradigm for drug discovery that integrates 'automated hardware' and 'AI intelligent decision-making'. Our goal is not only to build the 'highway' for processes but also to achieve intelligent empowerment and paradigm innovation at the source stages, such as target discovery and molecular design, leveraging artificial intelligence and big data analytics. We aim to fully accelerate the translation of innovative drugs from the laboratory to the clinic, contributing technological power to the benefit of human health."

Dr. Lang Guojun, Founder and CEO of Sanyou Bio, said: "We are very pleased to formally establish this strategic cooperation with Shanghai ZJ Bio-Tech. This collaboration aims to address core challenges in biologics R&D through cutting-edge innovative approaches. By deeply integrating Sanyou's AI-STAL™ intelligent ultra-trillion molecular library with ZJ Bio-Tech's automation and intelligent technologies, we will jointly drive breakthroughs in key technologies for innovative biologics R&D. Leveraging our complementary strengths, we are committed to building a more efficient and intelligent R&D system, thereby significantly shortening drug development timelines and accelerating the launch of innovative therapies—bringing more timely treatment hope to patients worldwide."
