Company
Full-Life Technologies (辐联医药)
Radiopharmaceutical company founded in Shanghai in 2021 that is building its own actinium-225 GMP plant in Belgium.
1. Core Product / Service
Full-Life develops radiopharmaceutical conjugates (RDCs) from its UniRDC discovery platform. It aims to own the whole value chain, from isotope supply to manufacturing to commercialization [2][4].
- [225Ac]-FL-020: prostate cancer, in clinical development [2].
- [225Ac]-FL-261: multiple solid tumors, in clinical development [2].
- Goal: three clinical-stage programs by the end of 2026 [2].
2. Target Users & Pain Points
Patients with cancers addressable by targeted alpha therapy. The industry bottleneck is a scarce supply of actinium-225, which limits how many radiopharmaceuticals can reach patients. Full-Life's answer is to produce its own isotope [2].
3. Competitive Landscape
| Player | Positioning | Vs. Full-Life |
|---|---|---|
| Global radiopharma leaders and recent big-pharma acquirers | Approved lutetium RLTs; buying alpha-emitter biotechs | Full-Life bets on Ac-225 plus its own supply |
| yili-pharma | Hangzhou radiopharma startup founded in 2024 | Much earlier; China-only footprint |
| Other Chinese nuclear-medicine biotechs | Mostly rely on third-party isotope supply | Full-Life integrates isotope manufacturing |
4. Unique Observations
- Wet-lab and manufacturing model: it is vertically integrated.
- In May 2023 it bought 17,000 m² of land in Gembloux, Belgium, and broke ground in December 2023 on a 4,000 m² GMP building [5][6].
- The 2026 Series D funds the start of GMP-grade Ac-225 production there [2].
- Its China-side radiochemistry lab footprint is not disclosed.
- Debt as well as equity: the B, C and D rounds each paired equity with debt, which suits capex-heavy plant construction [2][4][5].
- Founder background: the founding CEO is a serial entrepreneur from finance and drug-discovery services, not a radiochemist [4].
5. Financials / Funding
| Round | Date | Amount | Lead |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seed | 2021 | US$10M | Chengwei Capital, Geding Ventures [4] |
| Series A | 2022-05 | RMB 250M | Sequoia China [4] |
| Series B | 2024-01 | US$47.3M equity + US$16M credit | Prosperity7 Ventures and an unnamed fund [4] |
| Series C | 2025-09 | US$50M equity + US$27M debt | Junson Capital [5] |
| Series D | 2026-05-18 | ≈US$110M equity + ≈US$40M debt | Vivo Capital; SK Biopharmaceuticals participated [2][3] |
- Total raised: nearly US$350M including debt [2].
- SK Biopharmaceuticals (2024-07): global rights to FL-091 (NTSR1), for up to US$571.5M including upfront and milestones. The upfront was not disclosed. SK also has a right of first negotiation on other programs [7].
6. People & Relationships
- Co-founder & CEO: 孙沛淇 (Sun Peiqi). He previously founded Silicon Therapeutics (硅康医药), acquired by Roivant in 2021. Press releases name the CEO as "Lanny Sun"; matching the two names is an inference [4][7].
- Co-founders: 黄仲廉 (Huang Zhonglian), a cancer biologist, and 丁航海 (Ding Hanghai), former China general manager of Amersham [4].
- President & CFO: Julie Wu (吴艺霞) [2][3].
- Partner/investor: SK Biopharmaceuticals.
- Peers: yili-pharma.
