Hangzhou, China
China-based life sciences intelligence analyst. I help biopharma, investment, and market research firms track Chinese drug pipelines, companies, KOLs, and clinical trials using local sources that don't surface in English-language tools. With an M.Sc. in Medical Genetics and 10 years across precision oncology, genomic interpretation, and corporate due diligence, my core skill is one thing: using OSINT and a real medical background to find verifiable, hard-to-reach information where the data is fragmented, gated, or simply not public. I work with two kinds of clients. For companies and investors: - China biopharma competitive intelligence — pipeline tracking (preclinical to Phase III) across NMPA, CDE, and ChiCTR; company profiles, funding rounds, partnerships, and regulatory updates. - Global biopharma lead generation — finding target accounts, verifying decision-maker emails, and building source-linked contact lists. - China corporate due diligence — public-record verification through Qichacha, Tianyancha, and NMPA filings for investors running early-stage screening before they commit to a full background-check firm. - KOL and medical-influencer sourcing, plus WeChat / RED monitoring that overseas researchers can't access directly. For individuals facing rare, genetic, or advanced disease: - I act as a research and pre-screening assistant, not a doctor. I take your case details, genomic/NGS reports, and history, and search globally for clinical trials, off-label options, and emerging approaches. - I lay out what looks most relevant to your situation and what likely isn't, with a clear priority order and source links — so you can take it to your treating physician and decide together. The medical decision always stays with you and your doctor. Why clients come back: Chinese biopharma data is often incomplete or contradictory. I know where it lives, when to trust it, and when to tell you plainly that it simply isn't public — no guesswork, no padding. All completed projects got all 5-star. Fluent English. Based in Hangzhou, fully available for UK / US business hours.
