China-based Treatment Intelligence Analyst and Independent Patient Advocate, specializing in oncology and rare disease. 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 an Independent Medical and Treatment Intelligence researcher, not a doctor. I take your case details, genomic/NGS reports, and history, and conduct a global search for clinical trials, off-label options, and emerging therapeutic approaches — including clinical trials and FDA-approved drugs that rarely surface in databases. --I deliver a structured Treatment Intelligence Report with prioritized options 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.
