BioDlink Showcases Europe-China CMC Collaboration Amid Developmental Breakthrough

  • Recognized as Biologics CDMO of the Year, BioDlink shares insights into the world’s first approved EGFR-targeted ADC for recurrent/metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma
  • The company enables seamless Europe–China tech transfer and faster biologics development through an integrated, end-to-end CMC platform

SUZHOU, China, Nov. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — BioDlink, a global leader in biologics contract development and manufacturing, took center stage at Biologics CDMO Europe 2025 to present its critical role in the regulatory approval and manufacturing support of the world’s first approved EGFR-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) for the treatment of recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (R/M NPC).

During his keynote presentation, “Linking Europe and China —Mutual Success in Biologics CMC Development,” Dr. Jian Zhang, Chief Operating Officer at BioDlink, discussed global and Chinese biologics market trends, pointing out that China contributed 54 percent of ADCs and 48 percent of bispecific and tri-specific antibodies in global Phase Ⅰ/Ⅱ trials as of 2025[1]. In Q1-Q3 2025, the country’s license-out total deal value hit $920.3 billion, a 77 percent increase over 2024, including 16 deals valued over $1 billion each based on industry report[2].

Dr. Zhang also introduced BioDlink’s cross-regional project execution capabilities, providing case studies on how its integrated one-base, end-to-end CMC (Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls) platform facilitated seamless technology transfer, agile regulatory alignment, and accelerated manufacturing timelines. The company recently manufactured a first-in-class Becotatug Vedotin injection, receiving marketing approval from China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA), and is the first EGFR-targeted ADC ever approved globally, representing a significant R/M NPC therapeutic advancement.

Further reinforcing its industry leadership, BioDlink was named Biologics CDMO of the Year at the Biologics CDMO Excellence Europe 2025 awards, recognized for its overall excellence in biologics across core customer needs, including quality, speed, and cost.

BioDlink sponsored the “Tech-Transfer Simplified: Lessons across the Lifecycle” forum, with Dr. Zhang participating in a lively discussion with top biotech CEOs, MNC executives, research leaders, and investment leaders. Technology transfer should be treated not just as a technical hand‑off but as a strategic phase covering the transition from development to manufacturing, with implications for product quality, timelines, regulatory applications, and commercial outcomes. Seamless technology transfer is also essential to China’s growth as a global innovation hub, enabling greater speed, broader modality expansion, and a shift to NewCo and out-licensing financing.

“We are empowering our global clients to innovate more fearlessly,” said Dr. Zhang. “With world-class facilities anchored in Asia, strategic reach into Europe and tested quality systems, BioDlink is a strategic bridge from Europe to China’s fast-growing drug discovery and CMC development ecosystem with significant speed and cost advantages. We are committed to serving as a strategic CDMO partner to global pharmaceutical companies advancing first-in-class and other advanced therapies.”

First Among CEXs: Bybit Alpha Launches Liquidity Farm, Unlocking Access to DeFi Yield

DUBAI, UAE, Nov. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is excited to announce the launch of the industry’s first centralized exchange (CEX) integrated liquidity farm on Bybit Alpha. This groundbreaking feature eliminates traditional DeFi barriers by enabling users to participate in on-chain yield farming directly from their Bybit accounts—no wallet or key setup, and no gas fees required.

The new liquidity farm leverages the Concentrated Liquidity Market Maker (CLMM) model, allowing eligible Bybit users to become liquidity providers (LPs) and access diversified on-chain yield opportunities with unprecedented ease and efficiency without leaving the CEX.

Locking in DeFi Opportunities on the CEX

“Bybit Alpha’s liquidity farm represents a paradigm shift in how users access decentralized finance (DeFi),” said Emily Bao, Head of Spot at Bybit and Founder of Byreal. “By removing the technical complexity that has traditionally kept mainstream crypto users away from DeFi, we’re opening the door for millions to participate in new DeFi yield opportunities.”

Key Features and Benefits

  • Industry-First Integration: The first CEX of its calibre to offer integrated liquidity farming without requiring external wallets or private key management
  • High Yield Potential: Annual percentage yields (APY) potentially ranging from 100% to 600% based on pool incentives and trading activity
  • Smart Earning Mechanism: Users can stake directly from their Bybit Unified Trading Account (UTA) to provide on-chain liquidity, and earn trading fees proportional to their share of active liquidity
  • Unmatched Flexibility: No lock-up periods, users can deposit and withdraw anytime with full control over positions
  • Advanced Asset Screening: Users also benefit from Bybit Alpha’s rigorous risk controls and early access to high-potential tokens

How It Works

CLMM transforms how LPs earn by letting them allocate their funds within custom price ranges, instead of spreading them thin across all possible prices. Earnings primarily come from trading fees, which are distributed proportionally based on each LP’s share of active liquidity at the exact price of each trade. This dynamic earning model rewards strategic positioning and capital efficiency.

Getting started with Bybit Alpha’s liquidity farm is simple. Users simply need to choose from available pools supporting USDT, USDC, SOL, or bbSOL from their Bybit UTA to stake and farm. After selecting their price range and capital amount, users can turn their idle assets into passive income generator.

To withdraw, users can redeem positions anytime with options to receive returns in USDT, USDC, SOL, or bbSOL.

Bybit Alpha provides a high level of transparency with real-time position tracking available on the Alpha Assets page, allowing users to closely monitor performance and make informed decisions.

Registration is required. Terms and conditions apply. For details on qualification rules and eligibility, users may visit: The first CEX Liquidity Farm: Explore farming and more DeFi opportunities on Bybit Alpha

Angel Yeast’s 8,500-Ton Specialty Yeast Facility and New Brewing Microbial Pilot Platform Come Online

YICHANG, China, Nov. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Angel Yeast (SH600298), a global leader in yeast and fermentation solutions, has begun trial production at its new specialty yeast project in the Baiyang Biotechnology Park, Yichang High‑tech Zone. The facility commenced material feeding on August 31 and, once fully ramped, will reach an annual capacity of 8,500 tons. This launch completes Angel Yeast’s full-chain layout in specialty yeast—from R&D and pilot‑scale production to scaled manufacturing—enhancing supply of high-value yeast‑derived ingredients for craft brewing, wine, and bioenergy, and strengthening the biomanufacturing value chain.

“The microbiological standard for specialty yeast is at the ten-thousand level, meaning significantly fewer contaminants. Filtered air enters pressurized feeding tanks to maintain positive pressure, ensuring nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and other nutrients remain in a highly sterile storage environment,” said Qin Benguo, Assistant Director of Specialty Yeast Production at Angel Yeast’s Yichang High‑tech subsidiary.

Core lines feature full-process automation from feeding and fermentation to packaging and storage, supporting stable, reproducible quality at scale.

With broader application scope than conventional baker’s yeast, Angel’s specialty yeast targets high-value segments: craft beer, wine and other alcoholic beverages, fuel ethanol, and biomass energy. By delivering stable, premium raw materials at scale, the new capacity will help brewers and bioenergy producers improve yields, enhance process stability, and advance flavor and performance consistency—key for accelerating product innovation and market expansion.

Angel Yeast Commissions Brewing Functional Microorganism Pilot Test Platform

Complementing the new production line, Angel Yeast has also commissioned its Brewing Functional Microorganism Pilot Test Platform, designed to bridge lab discoveries and industrial‑scale validation. The platform simulates real-world brewery environments, addressing the limitations of on-line trials—such as inconsistent operator practices and imprecise timing—by delivering reproducible, data-driven results under factory-like conditions. Equipped with real-time monitoring, it tracks microbial dynamics and flavor compound evolution, enabling precise quality assessment, faster R&D iteration, and optimized technical schemes for partners.

“Equipped with real‑time monitoring systems, the platform allows us to track microbial dynamics and flavor compound evolution in a controlled, factory-like setting,” said Luo Xinjie, Director of Brewing Technical Support at Angel Yeast’s Food & Fermentation Business Unit. “This enables us to assess product quality with unprecedented precision, refine R&D directions, and optimize technical schemes for our partners.”

In the baijiu sector alone, Angel’s solutions have already helped boost yield, enhance fermentation stability, and enable precise flavor control. With the pilot platform, the cycle from R&D to industrial application can be significantly shortened, allowing breweries to access tailored, validated solutions faster—reducing time‑to‑market and improving operational efficiency.

Together, the 8,500‑ton specialty yeast facility and the Brewing Functional Microorganism Pilot Platform form a powerful engine for global biomanufacturing and brewing innovation. As Angel Yeast expands its capabilities—from clean, automated specialty yeast production to translational pilot testing—the company is poised to deliver more functional, sustainable solutions and inject fresh momentum into bio‑based products worldwide.
