Dr. XU Ting is a recipient of the “Major National Talent Programs” and a key driver of China’s biopharmaceutical industry transition from “me-too” follow-on to “first‑in‑class” innovation.
Dr. Xu has nearly 30 years of innovative R&D experience in the biopharmaceutical industry. Early in his career, he held key R&D positions at top‑tier international pharmaceutical companies including Biogen and Serono in the United States. In 2008, He returned to China and founded Alphamab, spearheading the localization of over 30 biosimilar drugs, and significantly improving patient access to high-end biologics. In 2015, he led the spin‑out of Jiangsu Alphamab Oncology to focus on independent R&D of innovative drugs and successfully listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2019.
Dr. Xu invented Envafolimab, the world’s first subcutaneous (subQ) injectable PD‑L1 antibody, which was launched in 2021 and ushered in a new era of cancer immunotherapy with 30‑second subcutaneous injection. The HER2 bispecific antibody KN026, developed under his leadership, is on the verge of market launch and is expected to become the first HER2 bispecific antibody approved in China for second‑line and above HER2‑positive gastric cancer. Moreover, a Phase III study of KN026 as neoadjuvant treatment for breast cancer has demonstrated efficacy superior to the standard regimen of “trastuzumab + pertuzumab” (two monoclonal antibodies), poised to reshape the treatment landscape for HER2‑positive solid tumors.
Dr. Xu has developed world-class cutting‑edge technology platforms including single‑domain antibody, bispecific antibody, glycan conjugation for antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), and dual‑payload ADC. He has developed over 10 pipeline assets at commercial or clinical stages with first‑in‑class (FIC) or best‑in‑class (BIC) potential. Alphamab Oncology is one of the few innovative biotech companies in China capable of independently completing the full industrial chain from drug discovery to commercial manufacturing. As the inventor of over 100 patents, he has led multiple national‑level “Major New Drug Development” projects.
Dr. Xu holds a B.S. in Biochemistry from Nanjing University, a Ph.D. from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and completed postdoctoral training at Harvard University. He currently holds adjunct professorship at the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and at Nanjing University. He has received numerous honors such as the “Suzhou Outstanding Talent Award”. With a rich proprietary pipeline represented by Envafolimab, KN026 and JSKN003, he is accelerating the company’s integration into the global biopharmaceutical innovation ecosystem.
