PHBS Think Tank Releases Q1 2025 Macroeconomic Report

Stable Real Estate Recovery and Steady Growth in the New Economy

SHENZHEN, China, April 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The PHBS Think Tank at Peking University HSBC Business School released its Macroeconomic Analysis Report for the First Quarter of 2025, highlighting a strong start to the year for the Chinese economy. In January and February, production exceeded expectations, and the cumulative trade surplus reached a historical high for the period. However, consumption and investment grew at a slower pace.

The report outlines four key macroeconomic trends from the first quarter:

  1. Real Estate Market Stabilizes with Policy Support
    Policy-driven measures have helped stabilize the real estate sector, with major markets showing signs of gradual recovery.
  2. Positive Feedback Loop in Auto Exports
    Investment, production, and expectations in overseas automobile markets reinforced each other in a positive cycle. Based on available data, leading enterprises remained optimistic about the impact of tariffs on new energy vehicles.
  3. Support for the Development of New Economy
    Domestic industrial policies supported investment, production, and retail in sectors such as electronics and transport equipment, helping sustain a growth cycle in new economy.
  4. Rush to Export, with Tariff Uncertainty Ahead
    A surge in exports drove temporary growth in labor-intensive goods and home appliance production. However, this momentum faces risks from future U.S. tariffs. Many enterprises have already taken steps to mitigate potential disruptions.

Looking ahead to the first half of 2025, GDP growth is projected to reach 5.0%. Export pressure may intensify in Q2 2025, and current policies may not be strong enough to significantly boost consumption. The real estate market is expected to continue its steady recovery, while manufacturers will likely expand their use of automation and smart technologies to reduce costs.

The report offers several policy recommendations: strengthen support for enterprises expanding globally through vertical specialization; boost the effectiveness of fiscal policies to stimulate consumption; ensure this year’s land reserve special bond issuance reaches at least 700 billion yuan; and accelerate fiscal and tax reforms to address structural unemployment driven by technological change.

Duke-NUS and T Cells Diagnostics team up to simplify T-cell analysis

  • Virus-specific T-cell measurement is made easier to enable better understanding of immune responses in patients and management of human infectious diseases.

SINGAPORE, April 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — T Cell Diagnostics Pte. Ltd. (“TCD”) has licensed an intellectual property (IP) and its related know-how from Duke-NUS Medical School to develop point-of-care assays that could simplify the analysis of T-cell responses.

Point-of-care tests can be performed quickly and easily at the site of patient care, such as in clinics or hospitals, without the need of specialised lab equipment. They provide rapid results, helping doctors and researchers make timely decisions.

TCD was established in Singapore in 2021 as a spin-off from Duke-NUS by Professor Antonio Bertoletti, Assistant Professors Nina Le Bert and Anthony Tan from Duke-NUS’ Emerging Infectious Diseases Programme. Developed based on the licensed IP and its related know-how, TCD’s test kits precisely measure the amount of virus-specific T cells in clinical samples by stimulating biological samples—ranging from whole blood to nasal swabs and bronchoalveolar lavage fluids—with synthetic peptides. In response to the stimulation, the T cells release chemical signals called cytokines, which can be easily measured.

Assistant Professor Nina Le Bert, who is currently applying this technology in her research on samples from patients chronically infected with the Hepatitis B Virus, said: “We are impressed by the simplicity and performance of the test kit, which has allowed the testing of hundreds of patient samples with ease and precision. It is heartening to see that the interest in measuring T-cell responses induced by vaccination or infection is gaining traction as such knowledge empowers healthcare providers and researchers to better understand immune responses in patients, in turn driving innovations to improve patient care.”

Mr Alessandro Sidoli, CEO of T Cell Diagnostics: “We are confident that the addition of this technology to our portfolio is a major step towards achieving our goal of using T cells as a diagnostic. Our team combines deep scientific expertise with a commitment to delivering reliable, high-quality results, ensuring that our partners can confidently advance their research and clinical goals. Whether you’re exploring immune responses to viral infections, vaccination, or even cancer, TCD is your trusted partner in unlocking the power of T cell immunity.”

TCD offers end-to-end solutions, including project management, expert consultations, and advanced research testing services. The main focus is on analysing virus-specific cellular immune responses, with a particular emphasis on infections such as HBV, HDV, Influenza, SARS-CoV-2, and Dengue.

By quantifying the number and function of antigen-specific T cells, TCD provides critical insights that can guide diagnosis, treatment, and vaccine development. Operating from a state-of-the-art BSL-2 laboratory in Singapore’s Biopolis, TCD is strategically positioned to serve local, regional, and international clients.

Associate Professor Christopher Laing, Vice-Dean for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Duke-NUS, said: “Innovation in science is not just about discovery—it’s about turning knowledge into solutions that improve lives. Duke-NUS scientists are among the most entrepreneurial in Asia, and our culture of innovation is supportive of partnering with startups. Our collaboration with TCD exemplifies Duke-NUS’ commitment to bridging academia and industry, accelerating groundbreaking discoveries from universities to patients and society.”

Greater Precision of HER2-Expressing Breast Cancer Treatment with 3D Pathology: New JelloX Research Collaboration

In the preliminary findings of a study conducted with the National Taiwan University Hospital, over 50% of sample cases were reclassified as HER2expressing when 3D pathology was applied.

HSINCHU, April 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — JelloX Biotech Inc., a Taiwan-based startup at the forefront of cancer pathology, announced the preliminary results of a research collaboration with the National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH) on breast cancer patients. The study found that JelloX’s 3D pathology technology identified a significantly increased proportion of tumors with HER2-low and HER2-ultralow expression compared to conventional methods, demonstrating this technology’s increased sensitivity and potential as a superior diagnostic tool for HER2 detection in breast cancers.

This is a 3D fluorescent-stained image of mammary ducts from a breast cancer patient. Green areas indicate drug-targeted receptors. Unlike traditional 2D pathology, this reveals the spatial distribution of receptors, reducing the risk of misjudging treatment decisions.

Contact JelloX at sales@jellox.com to explore partnerships and learn more about the company’s cutting-edge 3D pathology technology.

According to the US National Cancer Institute, breast cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer. However, the difficulty of precisely determining treatment has made the identification of HER2 expression essential. In HER2-low and HER2-ultralow metastatic breast cancer, the novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) has demonstrated robust efficacy over conventional chemotherapy. Yet considering HER2 spatial heterogeneity, traditional diagnostic methods have shown to be less precise than 3D pathology in detecting the presence of the HER2 protein.

“For the specific challenges posed by metastatic breast cancer and the need to identify predictive biomarkers accurately, the high sampling capacity of 3D pathology holds particular potential,” commented Dr. Yen-Yin Lin, CEO of JelloX. “JelloX Biotech’s Comprehensive HER2 Diagnostic Solution is poised to revolutionize HER2 diagnostics. With a more comprehensive data set on tumor samples, healthcare providers can be empowered to make more precise diagnoses, ensuring that the right patients receive the right treatment at the right time.”

New findings with NTUH on HER2 breast cancer

In JelloX’s research collaboration with NTUH, preliminary findings indicate that more than half of the analyzed cases exhibited diagnostic discrepancies when re-evaluated using the company’s advanced 3D pathology methods. Notably, among patients initially classified as HER2-null by traditional methods, more than 66.7% were reclassified as HER2-expressing (HER2-low or HER2-ultralow) using 3D technology, thereby becoming potentially eligible for T-DXd treatment.

These findings echo the company’s recent results using samples from colorectal and esophageal cancers, demonstrating that 3D pathology may have broader potential across various cancer types.

The full findings will be shared at the Global Breast Cancer Conference in South Korea on April 17. https://gbcc.kr/Main.asp

Implications for breast cancer treatment and drug guidelines

T-DXd has demonstrated significant efficacy in tumors with HER2 expression. However, tumors classified as HER2-null under conventional pathological testing are ineligible for T-DXd treatment. By detecting HER2 more precisely using 3D pathology methods, we can identify more patients eligible for T-DXd therapy.

In addition to cancer patients, JelloX’s 3D pathology technology has the potential to expand possibilities across healthcare stakeholders:

  • For physicians: This advanced diagnostic tool offers a more comprehensive patient data set and, when integrated with AI, helps reduce physician workloads.
  • For pharmaceutical companies and research institutions: The technology enhances companion diagnostics (CDx) for drug usage and is a valuable tool for new drug development.
  • For healthcare systems: 3D pathology optimizes medical resource allocation and minimizes unnecessary financial and healthcare burdens.
