Shenzhen is a city of innovation in China. In recent years, a number of industry-leading enterprises such as Beike Biotechnology have been focusing on innovative technologies to jointly build a solid base for the life and health industry of Shenzhen. Relying on scientific and technological innovation, Beike Biotechnology has gradually developed into the poster child of Shenzhen’s booming healthcare and life sciences industry. Beike Biotechnology is a microcosm showing that Shenzhen can enhance the capacity of independent innovation in this field. The delegation of the Karolinska Institute deeply felt the strength and pace of development of Shenzhen enterprises and have a new understanding of the local biotech development. They believed that Beike Biotechnology is a truly innovative enterprise with scientific research strength.

Karolinska Institute was established in 1810 as the largest medical university in Europe as well as the top single medical school in the world. The Institute is known as the “cradle of the Nobel Prize in medicine” due to their international-leading level of scientific research and evaluation being awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. Its disciplinary development strategies focus on clinical epidemiology, tissue biology, medical genetics, biochemistry, stem cell biology, cell biology, apoptosis, cell differentiation regulation, cell therapy and so on.
