China-Italy Joint Laboratory of Pharmaceutical Biotechnology and Immunosafety Established in Shenzhen

Date:

In a significant step towards fostering international collaboration in the biopharmaceutical field, the China-Italy Joint Laboratory of Pharmaceutical Biotechnology and Immunosafety has officially been established in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province. This joint venture aims to accelerate the transformation of scientific achievements and drive innovation in pharmaceutical biotechnology and immunosafety.

A Collaborative Initiative

The laboratory is a result of a partnership between the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and two esteemed Italian institutions under the National Research Council (CNR): the Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology and the Institute of Translational Pharmacology. By combining their expertise, the two nations hope to deepen academic ties and promote groundbreaking advancements in the biomedical sector.

Key Research Directions

The China-Italy Joint Laboratory will focus on two critical areas of research:

  1. Immunotoxicity Evaluation
    The study of natural and artificial substances to understand their pathogenic and toxic mechanisms. This research will provide valuable insights into the potential risks and safety of these substances.
  2. Immunomodulatory Drug Development
    Advancing immunotherapy strategies and exploring innovative approaches for disease prevention through the development of drugs that modulate immune responses.

According to Li Yang, the director of the laboratory, these areas aim to address pressing global challenges in healthcare, providing a robust foundation for therapeutic innovation.

Strengthening Bilateral Ties

Xu Jianbin, vice president of SIAT, emphasized that this collaboration represents a milestone in China-Italy academic relations. The laboratory serves as a dynamic platform for both countries to leverage their resources, expertise, and technology, fostering mutual growth in the pharmaceutical and immunological sciences.

A Vision for the Future

With a shared commitment to improving human health, the China-Italy Joint Laboratory is poised to become a beacon of innovation in biopharmaceutical research. It symbolizes the spirit of global cooperation and underscores the importance of scientific partnerships in addressing the world’s most pressing health challenges.
