CPIC 2026 | Launch of the Logo for the Inaugural “New Drugs of Major Countries” Global Conference
Apr 09,2026
The inaugural China Pharmaceutical Innovation Conference (CPIC), hosted by Tongxiyì, will be grandly held from July 22 to 24, 2026, at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai).
CPIC is benchmarked against the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference in the United States, establishing a new paradigm of “Chinese innovation—global translation—Shanghai-based deal-making.” Serving as the “optimal window” for overseas capital and enterprises to gain insight into China’s innovation ecosystem, and as the “core hub” for Chinese pharmaceutical companies to upgrade their international expansion and connect with global markets, the CPIC is poised to become the annual bellwether event for investment and collaboration in the health industry. This year’s conference will feature dozens of specialized sessions, covering a wide range of hot topics and future directions in health-sector innovation, investment, and globalization.
China’s Original “Nuclear” Power Is Rising
Apr 07,2026
In the first few days of April 2026, the Chinese nuclear medicine industry was struck by two momentous developments.
On April 2, the National Medical Products Administration announced on its official website that China’s first independently developed Class 1 innovative radiopharmaceutical—Ruidiao Pharmaceutical’s technetium-99m pertechnetate peptide injection (trade name: Jiluntai), along with its accompanying kit—has officially been approved for market launch.
This represents not only a groundbreaking, original breakthrough in China’s nuclear medicine field, moving from zero to one, but also shatters the nearly 30-year-old monopoly of PET/CT in tumor imaging diagnostics, thereby providing a “Chinese solution” for broad-spectrum SPECT-based tumor imaging worldwide.

Although the joint statement did not specify the exact therapeutic indications for the molecule in question, industry insiders generally speculate that the candidate drug—developed on Insilico’s PharmaAI platform—is likely an oral GLP‑1R–targeted weight-loss agent.
