Polypeptide medicine is an innovative medicine, which is widely used in the treatment of endocrine system, immune system, digestive system, cardiovascular system, blood system, musculoskeletal system and other diseases, especially in the treatment of diabetes. In recent years, peptide drugs represented by semaglutide have attracted global attention in the pharmaceutical industry and capital markets, leading to a sustained increase in the research and production of peptide drugs.

At present, although the development of the peptide field in China is relatively smooth, the international competition in the peptide drug field is already very fierce, and the domestic industry is facing various pressures. For example, there is a significant gap between domestically produced manufacturing equipment and European and American countries, especially in the precision of precision instruments such as liquid chromatographs. Peptide synthesis equipment also has a 'bottleneck' problem. Tang Yue introduced to the People's Daily Health Client reporter that the weak industrial chain, insufficient innovation ability, and lack of professional talents all require us to catch up.

Tang Yue suggested that the peptide industry chain should be included in the national key supported industries, special actions should be carried out to provide tax rebates and subsidies to export-oriented enterprises, and encourage participation in international competition. Develop green production guidelines for the peptide industry, clarify environmental protection production technology standards and requirements, guide enterprises to adopt environmentally friendly materials and processes, especially in reducing solvent use, wastewater and waste gas treatment technology innovation, provide strong support, and encourage green environmental protection. At the same time, we will increase the protection of intellectual property rights for peptide drugs to ensure that research and development results are legally protected.

We need to pay more attention to the cultivation of specialized talents in the field of peptides, encourage enterprises to cooperate with universities and research institutions, carry out original research in the field of peptides, including basic and cutting-edge technologies, and provide project funding support. We should establish postdoctoral research stations and scholarships for the peptide industry, cultivate professional talents, and provide talent support for the development of the peptide industry, "said Tang Yue.
