     Nanobodies (VHH) have been proven to hold significant value for both medical research and clinical applications due to their unique physicochemical properties. However, obtaining nanobodies requires screening through nanobody libraries. Nanobo Life Sciences has constructed an alpaca VHH natural library using peripheral blood samples from 50 immunized-free alpacas.

　　On February 26, 2023, Nano Body Life Science and Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as 'NBLST'), together with Hubei TopGene Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as 'TopGene Biotech'), celebrated their relocation. The headquarters offices of both companies were smoothly relocated to the main building of the Wuhan Institute of Industrial Innovation and Development in the East Lake New Technology Development Zone of Wuhan City (hereinafter referred to as 'WHIIID').

　As one of the first companies to settle in WHIIID, Li Xiling, the director of WHIIID, warmly welcomed the relocation of Nano Body Life Science and Technology Co., Ltd., and Hubei TopGene Biotechnology Co., Ltd. She expressed that the simultaneous relocation of both companies signifies the full-speed development stage of WHIIID's nanobody industry platform, innovative drug discovery and non-clinical evaluation service platform, and antiviral drug research institute

　Action reinforces knowledge, and profound understanding facilitates further action.' Ma Chunhui, the General Manager of Nano Body Life Science and Technology, expressed that as the earliest biopharmaceutical company to invest and settle in WHIIID, Nano Body Life Science and Technology will leverage innovative resources such as cutting-edge technology, project management, market demand, and capital elements. It aims to vigorously develop a 'reservoir' for talent, technology, and capital in the field of biomedicine, becoming a new model for WHIIID's exploration and construction of an innovation system.

　Those who seek the height of a tree must strengthen its roots; those who aspire to a distant flow must dig deep into its sources.' This relocation marks an important milestone in the development of TopGene Biotech, representing a new platform for the company's resurgence and also a crucial step in its strategic adjustment. Chairman Ren Xidong stated that today's settlement signifies the innovative community jointly built by multiple parties stepping onto a new level and ascending to new heights.

Though the road is long and arduous, with perseverance, success is within reach; as long as we keep moving forward, the future holds promise. The new office environment and facilities symbolize a new chapter for the Nanobo team. Looking back, we are filled with joy and inspiration by our past achievements; looking ahead, we are motivated to overcome new challenges. On the occasion of our headquarters' relocation, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the numerous scientists who have long supported and recognized our company, as well as to our partners from across the country with whom we have maintained long-term collaborations. May we progress and prosper together.
