       May 10, CountryThe National Development and Reform Commission issued the "14th Five-Year Plan for Bioeconomic Development". The plan proposes to carry out cutting-edge biotechnology innovation, including the development of genetic diagnosisNew technologies such as therapy, stem cell therapy, immune cell therapy, etc., strengthen the synergy between industry, academia, research and application, accelerate the transformation and clinical application of related technology products, and promote the formation of new models of regenerative medicine and precision medicine treatment.

       The plan proposes to adhere to the fundamental role of innovation in the development of bio-economy and to strengthen market orientation , demand traction, promote the close integration of life science research, biotechnology innovation and the development of new kinetic energy of the bio-economy, and accelerate the innovation and development of the bio-economy.

       Among them, accelerating the improvement of biotechnology innovation capabilities includes:

       Strengthen original and leading basic research. Aim at frontier fields such as clinical medicine and health management, new drug discovery, brain science, synthetic biology, biological breeding, prevention and control of emerging infectious diseases, and biosafety, and implement major national science and technology projects and key R&D plans. Accelerate the building of a national strategic scientific and technological force in the biological field, actively gather large teams, gather large resources, implement large projects, and achieve major breakthroughs. Strengthen the traction role of major national science and technology infrastructure, focus on "four aspects" to deploy leading facilities in advance, speed up the construction of translational medicine research, multimodal and cross-scale biomedical imaging, encourage the construction of cutting-edge cross-research platforms based on facilities, and strengthen the opening of facility operations and data sharing.

       Fight the key core technologies. Implement the system of "revelation and leadership" and "horse racing", carry out research on key core technologies in the biological field, focus on making up for shortcomings in the development of underlying technologies, key components, common basic technologies and materials, and basic software and hardware, strengthen supply-demand synergy, and improve the innovation chain overall performance.

Innovation in cutting-edge biotechnology. Accelerate the development of high-throughput gene sequencing technology, promote the innovation of next-generation sequencing technology marked by single-molecule sequencing, and continuously improve gene sequencing efficiency and reduce sequencing costs. Strengthen the research and development of biological detection technologies such as microfluidics and high sensitivity. Promote synthetic biology technological innovation, make breakthroughs in key technologies such as computational design, high-throughput screening, high-efficiency expression, and precise regulation of biological manufacturing strains, and orderly promote new drug development, disease treatment, agricultural production, material synthesis, environmental protection, and energy supply. and new material development. Develop new technologies such as gene diagnosis and treatment, stem cell therapy, and immune cell therapy, strengthen the synergy between industry, academia, and research, accelerate the transformation and clinical application of related technologies, and promote the formation of new models of regenerative medicine and precision medicine. Deploy and carry out research on the mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of major diseases and the principle of acupuncture and moxibustion. Encourage the development of new technologies such as biological computing and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) storage.
