August 04 2020 - 8:00AM
Shineco, Inc. ("Shineco" or the "Company"; Nasdaq: TYHT), a
producer and distributor of Chinese herbal medicines, organic
agricultural and hemp products, as well as various health and
well-being-focused plant-based products in China, announced
today that the Board of Directors (the “Board”) has appointed Dr.
Fengming Liu as the new CEO and Chief Scientist to serve the
Company’s strategic transformation, effective August 3, 2020. Mr.
Yuying Zhang will continue to serve as the Chairman of the Board.
As previously disclosed in a press release on
July 27, 2020, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of
intent (the “Letter of Intent”) to acquire controlling interest in
Changzhou Biowin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd (“CBP”), a Chinese
biotechnology company focusing on on-site diagnostic product R
& D and high-tech biomedical products manufacturing, to enter
the market of COVID-19 nucleic acid detection.
Dr. Fengming Liu is very knowledgeable in basic
scientific research and applied scientific research. He is an
interdisciplinary and prolific scientist as well as an academic
entrepreneur. Lately, he has taken charge of 5 national science and
technology industrialization projects and 8 local projects. He has
made outstanding contributions in the fields of biopharmaceuticals,
clinical diagnostic reagents and functional food development, and
has applied for more than 60 patents. He earned 48 certificates
from the China Food and Drug Administration including the
second-class new drug certificates and in-vitro diagnostic reagent
registration certificates, filling many domestic and foreign market
gaps.
Mr. Yuying Zhang, Chairman of Shineco,
commented, “Shineco, Inc. has long been operating in traditional
industries such as Chinese herbal medicines, agricultural and hemp
products. We are facing many difficulties such as low technology
and added value, and poor market competitiveness. In the past two
years, the Company has transformed to be part of the industrial
hemp industry and has initially completed the industrial planning
and industrial chain construction. However, we need bio-high-tech
talents in the research and development of industrial hemp
biotechnology and biological products, especially a leading figure.
Mr. Fengming Liu holds a doctoral degree in cardiovascular internal
medicine from Peking Union Medical College, the most prestigious
medical college in China, and he received post-doctoral training at
Dartmouth College in the United States. He is a leading expert in
China’s biomedical industry and has rich research and development
achievements of biotechnology products and extensive experience in
corporate management. He is absolutely the right leader of Shineco
we are looking for. I believe that, under the leadership of Dr.
Liu, Shineco will see more efficient and rapid development.”
Dr. Fengming Liu, CEO, commented, “The strategic
cooperation between Shineco, Inc. and Biowin aims to build a
world-class biomedical industry base that mainly focuses on
researching and developing biological innovative drugs and vitro
diagnostic reagents. I will do my best to lead the R&D and
management team to live up to the expectations of the Board and all
shareholders.”
