Zai Lab, Ltd. is an innovative, research-based, commercial stage biopharmaceutical company based in China and the U.S. focused on bringing transformative medicines for cancer, autoimmune and infectious diseases to patients in China and around the world.
Zai Lab has secured partnerships with leading global biopharma companies, generating a broad and late-stage pipeline of innovative drug candidates. Based on an extensive track record of execution and delivering results, Zai Lab has earned the reputation as a trusted partner of choice for global biopharmaceutical companies seeking to not only access the Chinese market but also find a long-term strategic partner for global clinical development. Through these partnerships, Zai Lab has built the strongest late-stage oncology portfolio with global first-in-class and/or best-in-class profile, among innovative Chinese biotech companies. Zai Lab is further supplementing our pipeline with an in-house discovery effort aiming to produce 1-2 global INDs per year.
Zai Lab is rapidly expanding into a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company, discovering, developing, manufacturing, and commercializing innovative medicines. To that end, it has built its internal R&D center to advance the discovery pipeline, a strong clinical development and operations team, and its own manufacturing facilities in China. Zai Lab has also established a highly specialized commercial team to support marketing of its innovative products in China. Zai Lab believes this integrated approach will provide sustainable competitive advantages.
