Health care
HEC already has a large health research institute with more than 200 high-end R&D talents. Adhering to the concept of safety, health and high technology, HEC has developed and industrialized Cordyceps sinensis and deep-processed products, food, health products, cosmetics, disinfection products and other high-quality health products. product.
Cordyceps sinensis is a rare nourishing treasure in China. Since 2007, HEC Group has carried out in-depth research on the ecological breeding technology of Cordyceps sinensis for 15 years, and has invested more than 4 billion yuan to build an intelligent ecological breeding base of nearly 400,000 square meters. It is the first in the world to realize the industrialization of ecological breeding of Cordyceps sinensis. The project has won the first prize of Guangdong Provincial Science and Technology Award, Hubei Provincial Patent Gold Award and many other honors, and has been highly recognized by the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other ministries and commissions, as well as many industry experts and scholars. In order to meet the growing health needs of the people, it has launched three series of products: fresh cordyceps, freeze-dried cordyceps, and deep processing of cordyceps, and has strategically cooperated with Zhejiang Satellite TV to continuously title the "The Treasured Voice", investing over 100 million yuan every year, and continuing to increase brand building. With the continuous improvement of the industrialization barriers of ecological breeding technology and the implementation of brand strategy and national marketing channels, HEC will soon achieve the goal of over 10 billion in sales of Cordyceps sinensis.
HEC Research will focus on the three key areas of infection, tumor and metabolism in the future, and some projects are at the advanced level at home and abroad.
Global leader in the field of liver disease treatment at the forefront of the world：Relying on the State Key Laboratory of New Anti-Infective Drugs, the functional cure of hepatitis B is achieved through the combination of multiple targets. In the layout of the product line, 6 compounds with different mechanisms of action have been developed; Mofecidine is a brand-new hepatitis B virus capsid inhibitor. It has the potential to be the first in the world, is the compound with the fastest development in the world with the same target, and is also the world's first clinically proven small molecule compound that can clearly inhibit the s antigen; it has entered clinical phase 3 and will be listed around 2023. The annual sales are expected to reach 10 billion, to solve the major social needs in the field of hepatitis B. China's first completely self-developed new anti-hepatitis C drug, Emitasvir, has been launched in 2020. The drug for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis has entered clinical phase 2, and the effect among similar targets in the world is the more excellent.
China's advanced endocrine and metabolic therapy field coverage：A complete product pipeline including macromolecules and small molecules for the treatment of diabetes has been formed.
