"Technology is only the entry ticket."
For Hou Yong, CEO of BGI Genomics, research only creates impact through what follows the technology—namely compliance, localization, commercialization, and securing the path from product to market.
With GORTEC China, the Chinese division of the influential international platform for head & neck cancer research, BGI Genomics is advancing multi-omics technologies toward companion diagnostics (CDx) — helping China's innovative drugs, from ADCs to bispecific antibodies, accumulate evidence for global expansion.
We are building a comprehensive system for cancer management from prevention to monitoring, delivering full-cycle precision medicine solutions for patients and hospital partners.
And built on Genos, a 10-billion-parameter genomic foundation model developed with Zhejiang Lab, our AI model GeneT is already helping physicians at top-tier hospitals pinpoint rare-disease variants, with promising early results.
The goal: to advance digital health technology to reach not only a few countries and a few people — but for the benefit of all.
