中新健康|哈佛大学医学院荣休教授:中国药物研发已进入全新阶段

专家称中国药物研发已进入人工智能加持的新阶段,未来需在靶点选择上承担更大风险

Quick Look

  • 2024年至2026年上半年,中国创新药对外授权交易金额大幅增长。哈佛大学荣休教授Gregory L.
  • Verdine指出,中国药企在AI药物发现领域具备优势,未来应从“同类最佳”向“首创”研发转型,以提升全球竞争力。

中新网北京10月28日电(罗春昊)近年来,中国创新药出海话题火热。

医药魔方NextPharma数据库统计,2024年中国创新药完成94笔对外授权交易(License-out),披露交易总金额为519亿美元;2025年交易数量增至157笔,交易总金额达到1356.55亿美元。2026年上半年,中国创新药对外授权交易(License-out)总金额已达997亿美元,接近2024年全年的两倍。

生物科技领域连续创业者和资深风险投资人、哈佛大学医学院荣休教授Gregory L. Verdine近日在北京接受媒体采访时表示,当前中国药物研发已进入一个全新阶段,特别是在人工智能加持下的药物发现领域。这一高度复杂且工程化的工作正是中国药物研发企业擅长的。与此同时,这又与中国的其他能力形成了交汇,比如规模化、制造、药物筛选和AI能力。这些能力结合起来,使中国在这一领域的药物研发走在世界前沿。

他认为,当前,中国创新药出海对外授权交易(License-out)虽然大部分涉及早就被发现、甚至已经有药物上市的靶点,但中国药企能够显著提升这些药物的性能。所以尽管大多靶点不是首创新药(first-in-class),但药物本身仍具有更好的特性。

Gregory L. Verdine 提醒,未来,围绕这些早已发现的靶点继续改良药物的机会会越来越少。中国下一步需要在靶点选择上承担更大风险。科学能力不是障碍,关键在于资本市场能否容纳这种风险。在2026中国医药决策者峰会上,多家出海创新药企业也认为,提升管线的质量而非一味码数量,是未来比较关注的课题。

不过Gregory L. Verdine表示,他相信一些中国药企正朝着全球前十迈进。一些药企已经找到一条可行的成功路径,尽管目前主要还是做同类最佳(best-in-class),而非首创(first-in-class),但它们有资金、雄心和人才,可以从同类最佳转向首创。

Expert: Cancer intervention has entered the stage of precision, but there are still shortcomings in the quality control system and grassroots capabilities

The 12th Beijing Forum on Minimally Invasive Interventional Treatment of Tumors was held recently. Experts pointed out that interventional cancer treatment has entered a new stage of precision, but it still faces challenges from imperfect clinical standardized quality control systems and uneven primary diagnosis and treatment capabilities. It is necessary to promote high-quality development through multidisciplinary collaborative innovation and talent cultivation.

Chinese people are worried about insufficient long-term care medical expenses. On average, they think they need to prepare 6.82 million yuan

Nanshan Life Insurance released the "2026 Sustainable Health White Paper" today, pointing out that the average Chinese believes that they need to prepare 6.82 million yuan in medical and long-term care funds, but the actual average preparation is only 3.37 million yuan, facing a financial gap of up to 3.45 million yuan. The issues of chronic diseases and metabolic syndrome have also become the focus of attention.
