Target innovation and drug development driven by biological mechanism research is the starting point of GenFleet's pipeline. Linking cutting-edge technologies and medical needs in a creative manner, we conduct target research, identification of preclinical candidates and clinical transformation by means of in vitro screening, pharmacological research, translation science and other tactics.
GenFleet constructs its R&D platform on the basis of disease biology and translational medicine, and researches into latest biological mechanism of cancer pathways, tumor microenvironment and human immunoregulation.
The newly established DMPK platform contributes to screening and optimization of preclinical candidates through ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism & excretion) simulation in human body and relevant pharmacokinetic studies, so as to boost success rates of drug discovery and clinical trials from the early stage of R&D programs onwards.

From the screening of preclinical candidates to early-stage process development, we delve into the research and analysis of molecules' structure-activity relationship to prepare good-quality APIs for clinical research and commercial production as GenFleet grows into a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing cutting-edge products with global intellectual property rights.
As a key node linking early discovery and translational medicine, the department integrates advanced models such as SAR (structure-activity relationship)，SPR (structure-property relationship) and CADD (computer-aided drug design) into a grand R&D platform of synthetic chemistry and computing science. Through multi-layered screening, the department is projected to identify preclinical candidates with active physical & chemical characteristics and great PK&PD properties for the development of novel molecules in bringing innovative therapies.
The multi-functional platform of molecular biology and biochemical analysis undertakes high-throughput screening and activity evalsuation at enzyme and cytology levels. Besides, the department set up animal models of multiple tumors and autoimmune diseases to identify the in vivo effects and mechanism of molecules. The whole process of in vitro and in vivo analysis methods is capable of supporting the biological research from preclinical studies to clinical transformation.
The new R&D system contains a broad range of functions including antibody discovery, activity screening, drug effects identification, mechanism research and expression & purification of protein. With exclusive screening strategy and antibody engineering, the department is targeted to develop various types of antibody drugs and thus make contributions to GenFleet’s balanced matrix of products.

Deeply understanding molecular mechanism of diseases, we take advantage of the bioinformatics & molecular pathology platform to discover disease-related biomarkers and innovative targets. Bridging between bench and bedside research, our translational studies support model selection and pharmacodynamic index identification in drug discovery.
With reference to molecular pharmacology and potential targets' biological functions, we employ the platform of molecular pathology & multi-omics to search for original biomarkers (including patient screening biomarkers, pharmacodynamic markers, etc.), and establish feasible detection methods in line with regulations of clinical development.
Translational studies span across patient screening, drug resistance mechanism discovery, drug combination strategy and indication selection in clinical development. We strive to identify potential targets according to research data, seek new molecules with full verification through lab tests, and move potential preclinical candidates into clinical trials.
In view of biological mechanism and big data in healthcare, we select most suitable indications to serve unmet clinical needs. Besides, we explore potential mechanisms of drug resistance in translational studies to spot anti-drug resistant compounds and expand indication for novel drugs.
