M2-based Live Attenuated Vaccine PlatformWe pioneered a restricted-replication, M2 gene-modified influenza virus technology, which significantly reduces viral replication while maintaining immunogenicity, achieving a safer and more thorough attenuation. By modifying key regions of the M protein, viral replication in the host is limited to simulate natural infection, inducing broad and long-lasting immune responses. This platform is highly versatile and allows rapid substitution of different subtype antigens.
Technical Advantages: All core technologies are original discoveries. We hold 8 national invention patents and 4 international patents, covering the full chain from molecular design and vector construction to production processes. This patent portfolio forms an essential barrier to entry for the industry’s use of M2-based attenuation strategies.
Representative Projects: Intranasal live attenuated influenza vaccine (DIFF-flu); Live attenuated H9 avian influenza vaccine (DIFF-H9N2)
Potential Applications: Universal influenza vaccines, human avian influenza vaccines, bovine influenza vaccines

Oncolytic Virus PlatformWe have developed a novel VSV-based oncolytic virus platform using precise genetic engineering to balance oncolytic activity with safety. Through enhanced tumor targeting and neurotoxicity elimination, this platform improves viral lysis efficiency and therapeutic specificity, offering new treatment strategies for solid tumors, particularly colorectal cancer. By optimizing key regulatory elements in the VSV genome, viral replication in normal tissues is restricted while achieving efficient replication and selective lysis in tumor cells. This selectively kills tumor cells and activates host antitumor immunity.
Technical Advantages: Original technology; 4 national invention patents filed.
Representative Research Achievements: Colorectal cancer is the first clinical indication. Preclinical data demonstrates significant therapeutic potential and favorable safety.
Potential Applications: Expansion to multiple cancer types and clinical translation.

Recombinant Viral Vector Technology PlatformThis platform leverages VSV, NDV, and other viral vectors to construct recombinant expression systems capable of carrying multiple antigens, with high safety and immunogenicity, without including the complete pathogen genome.
Technical Advantages: Supports multiple foreign antigens for combined prevention of multiple pathogens. We hold 16 national invention patents and 2 international patents. The mature technology allows rapid antigen replacement once the base construct is obtained, dramatically shortening development timelines.
Representative Projects: VSV-vectored rabies vaccine for companion animals (DIFF-Rab); Recombinant NDV-vectered vaccine for SARS-CoV-2
Potential Applications: Viral vectored vaccines, in vivo CAR-T
-
Antiviral Drug Screening PlatformWe have established a high-throughput antiviral drug screening platform based on fluorescent protein reporter systems, enabling rapid evaluation of drug activity at the cellular level. Changes in fluorescence reflect protease activity in real-time, allowing visual assessment of drug responses. Screening results directly inform molecular optimization and efficacy prediction and can be integrated with computer-aided drug design (CADD) to improve efficiency.
Technical Advantages: Low biosafety level, high throughput, and high correlation with live-virus results. Original technology with 14 national invention patents and 1 international patent.
Scope of Application: Chikungunya virus, Monkeypox virus, Norovirus, Herpes simplex virus, SARS-CoV-2, and other major pathogens

DIVA Vaccine PlatformOur DIVA (Differentiating Infected from Vaccinated Animals) vaccine platform uses marker gene design to integrate immunization with epidemiological surveillance. By introducing specific marker genes into vaccine strains, serological tests can distinguish vaccine-induced antibodies from those generated by natural infection.
Technical Advantages: 3 national and 9 international patents granted; awarded the China Patent Excellence Award. The technology represents the most industrially mature DIVA system in China.
Representative Projects: Inactivated Avian Influenza DIVA Vaccine (DIFF-DIVA H9)
Potential Applications: Avian influenza DIVA vaccines and its combined vaccines
