WuXi AppTec is the answer to AI-driven biotech because clinical trials become the bottleneck. AI gene screening will add more precise drug pipelines, but every drug must still pass trials, which take 65% of R&D costs including failures and over 90% for a single drug. Patient recruitment in China costs about 5% of the US level and takes a third of the time, with phase 1 trials taking 7 months versus 2 years, giving China-based clinical providers a cost advantage. x.com x.com x.com x.com
