About Orion Biotech

Who We Are

Orion Biotech is a biotechnology company dedicated to engineering next-generation biologics for regenerative medicine, inflammatory skin disease, hair biology, and metabolic disease.

Our team combines deep experience in protein engineering, mammalian cell culture, dermatology, and translational development. We build technologies with clear scientific rationale and responsible development practices.

Our Focus

We work across recombinant protein platforms, cell-based regenerative approaches, and candidate biologics for dermatology and metabolic indications. Each program is developed with explicit mechanistic framing and rigorous evidence standards.

Orion Biotech is a research and development organization oriented toward partnerships, licensing, and clinically translatable innovation.

Collaboration

We actively seek collaborations with academic institutions, clinical research partners, CDMOs, and strategic investors who share our commitment to rigorous science and responsible development.

Our People

Orion Biotech is led by scientists with complementary strengths in regenerative biology and infectious-disease vaccinology.

Zilong Wu

Zilong Wu

Founder

Zilong Wu is a graduate of the University of Auckland, New Zealand. His work spans organoid biology, organ regeneration, and stem-cell science.

He previously led hair follicle cloning programs, guiding projects from laboratory development through clinical investigation.

Senyan Zhang

Senyan Zhang

Research Director

Senyan Zhang holds a degree from Tsinghua University and has built a long-standing research portfolio in coronavirus immunology, antibody engineering, and rabies virus vaccinology.

She is an author on numerous publications and holds patents related to recombinant rabies vaccine development. Her work supports single-contact population immunization—the practical foundation for regional rabies elimination in free-roaming dog and wildlife campaigns.

Orion is extending this work toward a one-dose rabies vaccine candidate aligned with global public-health elimination goals.

How We Work

We believe meaningful advances in medicine come from thoughtful experimental design—not from routinized sacrifice of animals.

Orion Biotech is firmly opposed to research that depends on animal sacrifice. Wherever scientifically sound, we prioritize organoids, cell-based models, computational approaches, and other human-relevant alternatives that can answer the question with rigor.
