Pre-IPO Biocytogen Pharmaceuticals – The Novel Development Model Offset the Pipeline’s Shortcomings

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • The candidates in Biocytogen’s pipeline do not have advantages in development progress and also have to face fierce competition, so continuous large R&D investment in the future would be inevitable.
  • However, the development model of Biocytogen is very novel and special, which could make it a rare target in the market if it is successfully listed.  
  • Therefore, the certainty of Biocytogen’s future growth is expected to improve gradually, and the mid- and long-term investment value would continue to increase due to the high moat.
