Produced by Caixin Global.  Episode intro: Cancer treatment has long relied on a largely fixed set of options: surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and targeted drugs. But a new generation of biotech founders is trying to push the field toward something more precise \u2014 treatments built around the biology of a single patient. In this debut episode of Darers & Doers, Likang Life Sciences Founder and CEO Chen Li explains how his Beijing-based biotech startup is using artificial intelligence to develop personalized mRNA cancer vaccines.  Chen\u2019s entrepreneurial journey began with the cancer diagnosis of his mother, who later became his company\u2019s first patient. Ten years on, Likang\u2019s product, LK101, is already being used on patients in South China\u2019s Hainan province under a pilot policy, has won FDA approval, and is now advancing toward international clinical development. Speaking with Caixin Global Managing Director Li Xin, Chen discusses how his approach aims to overcome the limits of current immunotherapy, how he sees the race between biotech startups and pharmaceutical giants, and why China\u2019s biotech boom matters to the rest of the world.
