About BridgeCross Bio
A More Nuanced Conversation About China and Biotech
Our goal at BridgeCross Bio is to provide audiences with an accurate, contextual understanding of China's biotech and medtech landscape. We are neither pro- nor anti-China. We do not aim to hype, nor to vilify. We believe that good reporting, like good science, should follow the data.
The BridgeCross Map is an interactive directory of Chinese biotech companies across four sectors: Sequencing Technology, DNA Synthesis, Liquid Biopsy Oncology, and AI Drug Discovery — plus the venture capital firms backing them.

- Independent analysis: Editorially independent, no government or political funding.
- On-the-ground insight: Contributors have worked and built careers within China's science ecosystem.
