BeOne Medicines, a global drug company that originated as a research and development (R&D) firm in Beijing, promoted Wang Lai to the newly created role of co-president, marking a leadership expansion as the company advances its late-stage pipeline and globalisation efforts.<\/p>\n

The 48-year-old has served as the company’s global head of R&D since April 2021. Effective January, Wang would take the helm of an expanded portfolio, retaining his R&D responsibilities while also overseeing business development and the management of business alliance relationships, according to a filing with the Hong Kong stock exchange on Friday.<\/p>\n

The appointment was approved by the board of directors on December 17.<\/p>\n
