Founded in 2010, Centurion Biomedical Technologies (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. is dedicated to the research, development, production and sales of small molecule innovative drugs. The company has a 1,000 sqm R&D laboratory and advanced instruments and equipment in the Biomedical Industrial Park, and has built up a comprehensive management system. In 2012, Cetagliptin, its original patented Class I hypoglycemic drug, was successfully shortlisted for the National 12th Five-Year Plan "Major New Drug Creation", and was included in the track of key support for innovative drugs at the national level, and was granted clinical approval for Class I new drugs in 2017. These drugs are safe and effective, do not cause fasting hypoglycemia, do not increase patients' weight and are orally administered, and have attracted widespread attention from the pharmaceutical industry in recent years. This financing will also focus on advancing the Phase I clinical trials of this drug. At the same time, Centurion's flash-release formulation technology has been awarded the title of Suzhou Engineering Centre, and on this platform has developed new drug projects in special formulations represented by Asenapine.

  Dr. Qiang Yu, co-founder and CEO of Centec, graduated from the Chemistry Department of Peking University and completed his bachelor's thesis in the research group of Academician Qiyi Xing. He then participated in the national "863" research project at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and was the first author of a paper published in a professional journal in the United States. He then obtained his PhD in chemistry in the USA and his research was cited by Nobel Laureate Lehn, Jean-Marie in the internationally renowned journal Nature. In 2002, Dr Yu started working in the US pharmaceutical industry and in 2005, he founded his own company in the US, helping to develop and market the CaCO-2 cells as an irreplaceable model for drug bioefficacy evaluation. In 2010, Dr. Yu returned to China to build a multi-layered R&D pipeline, leveraging his extensive experience in the pharmaceutical industry to target the $100 billion pharmaceutical market. In 2013, Dr. Yu was selected as an expert for the National Major Talent Introduction Project and is the project leader for the National Major New Drug Creation Project.

  Dr. Yu said, "The angel and Pre-A rounds of financing completed before 2016 have provided solid funding for the company's early stage new drug development projects, and we are focused on providing better solutions for patients in various disease areas. The completion of this new Series A financing will accelerate Centurion's product advancement and expansion of multiple product lines in cancer, brain injury, leukemia and more. The lead investors of this financing, YIP Park Capital and Tong Ren Boda, both have very deep resources in the medical field, and Qian Capital and Ida Capital are also well-known in the industry. Together with the previous investors, Zhong Xin Venture Capital and Shan Lan Capital, CGeneTech will grow rapidly and continue to hang its sails to help Haiti with the belief of Sheng De, Innovation, Only Truth, and Ze Shi, because we know that our daily work is the hope of patients' hearts.
