Shijiazhuang Sihua Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. has maintained a long-standing, friendly university–enterprise partnership with China Pharmaceutical University. As a key national “Double First-Class” institution that excels in both teaching and research in the field of pharmacy, China Pharmaceutical University has achieved remarkable results in talent development and drug R&D, yielding abundant and impactful outcomes. The recent signing of a strategic cooperation agreement and the establishment of a joint laboratory with China Pharmaceutical University mark another solid step forward in this collaborative relationship.
This strategic cooperation between Shijiazhuang Sihua Pharmaceutical and China Pharmaceutical University is anchored in project development, leveraging the complementary strengths of both parties in project resources and talent to align with the company’s industrial development strategy. The collaboration focuses on addressing innovative needs such as novel chemical entities and cutting-edge targeted small-molecule drugs. Through the establishment of a joint laboratory, the partnership will undertake a series of pragmatic initiatives, including technical guidance for generic drug development, evaluation of innovative drug pipeline projects, and co-development of innovative medicines. These efforts aim to cultivate a robust pipeline of high-end innovation talent, enhance the overall efficiency and capability of the company’s innovative drug R&D, and prioritize the transfer, licensing, and commercialization of innovative achievements within the company. The goal is to advance 5 or more Class 1 new drugs into clinical trials within 2 to 3 years and achieve batch production of additional Class 1 new drugs within 3 to 5 years, thereby accelerating the transformation of the company’s supply-side structure, supporting its shift from a single-core business model to a diversified, multi-business approach, and fostering the high-quality development of the province’s biopharmaceutical industry.

Su Xuejun, Chairman of Shisi Pharmaceutical Group, and Lu Tao, Vice President of China Pharmaceutical University, signed the strategic cooperation agreement on behalf of their respective organizations.

Currently, the company has nearly 200 new products in development, with several first-in-class innovative drug programs advancing at an accelerated pace. Each year, more than 20 new product varieties are approved, product dosage forms are becoming increasingly diversified, and the industrial structure is undergoing rapid transformation. The company now boasts multiple competitive advantages—high-end manufacturing, cutting-edge R&D in new technologies, new products, and new materials, leading-edge applications, and successful industrialization—establishing itself as a new benchmark for product innovation in the industry.
