Founded in September 2021, the parent company Tisheng Biomedical is dedicated to developing globally competitive TCR drugs. Its first product is scheduled to submit a clinical Investigational New Drug (IND) application to regulatory agencies in the United States and China in 2025.

Li Yi, the brain behind Tisheng Biomedical, stands as a pioneer in global TCR drug development. Having held the position of protein engineering director at Immunocore in the United Kingdom, he is the mastermind behind Kimmtrak, the sole TCR fusion protein drug available today.

Explaining their decision to select Tianhe, Xing Feng, CEO of Tisheng Biomedical, highlighted, "Tianhe stands out as the central district of Guangzhou, offering advanced higher education, a concentration of skilled professionals, and extensive top-tier healthcare services, creating an ideal setting for the research and clinical trials of biopharmaceutical firms".

Currently, Tianhe hosts more than 1,000 medical establishments, representing roughly a quarter of the total within Guangzhou.
