What they say

Editor's note: The State Council Information Office invited five representatives from the industrial and IT sectors to share their stories in pursuit of niche innovations and advanced manufacturing on Tuesday.

Our core strength lies in developing more effective and safer medicines through technological innovation. In traditional cancer therapies, monoclonal antibody drugs typically target a single critical disease marker, which can limit their effectiveness. In contrast, our next-generation bispecific antibodies are designed to act on two key targets simultaneously.

This dual-target approach means we can attack the tumor's protective mechanisms from two coordinated angles. It's a "1+1>2" strategy — not only does it enhance the drug's efficacy, but it also improves its safety profile. As a result, the bispecific antibodies have the potential to treat more than a dozen types of cancers.

Our greatest challenge is overcoming technical bottlenecks in tool magazine technology.

The tool magazines we develop domestically not only deliver outstanding performance, but also significantly lower production costs. When people ask why I remain so committed, I tell them: manufacturing is the foundation of our nation, and someone must carry forward the spirit of craftsmanship. Looking ahead, we will continue transforming technical weaknesses into core strengths in the field of tool magazine innovation.

We work with a wide variety of satellite types, covering platforms ranging from 10 kilograms to over 1,000 kg, and the diversity poses significant technical challenges for the assembly process. Personally, I began my career as a mechanical process engineer and have dedicated over 20 years to the aerospace field. I have built a strong foundation in areas such as mechanical processing, electrical integration, cabling, assembly, and tooling design — both in theory and in hands-on project experience.

Right now, the technological and cost barriers for long-duration storage urgently need to be overcome, and I've been constantly asking myself — how can we make that breakthrough?

At first glance, semiconductors and energy storage may seem unrelated, but they are in fact closely intertwined. From an industrial development perspective, chips are becoming increasingly smaller, while storage technologies must evolve to last longer. Yet both share a relentless pursuit of cost-effectiveness and efficiency. By focusing on the semiconductor sector's cost control, efficiency and yield in terms of energy storage space, we believe we can help accelerate technological advances. That's where our team sees a real opportunity to make a difference.

After earning my PhD in 2006, I committed myself to contributing meaningfully to the (communication technology) industry. Over the past 18 years, I have worked on the front lines of research and development, successfully developing more than 10 types of advanced ceramic materials, which have been widely adopted in fields such as 5G communications, network infrastructure and consumer electronics.

During key project phases, I led my team through intensive R&D efforts. We reviewed extensive academic literature and took an innovative approach to materials development. Within just three months, we completed over 100 experimental formulations, ultimately achieving technical performance benchmarks that met the stringent requirements of top-tier client companies.
