Beijing Chaoweijing Biotechnology, operating as Transcend Vivoscope, develops and commercializes microscopic imaging systems for the life sciences sector. Founded in 2016 by a multidisciplinary team of scientists from Peking University led by Professor Cheng Heping, the company specializes in advanced imaging products and solutions for neuroscience research.
The company's core technology is miniature multi-photon microscopy, which enables high-resolution imaging of neural and synaptic activities in freely moving animals. In 2017, Transcend Vivoscope achieved a significant milestone by capturing clear images of brain cells in free-behaving mice, a technology that was part of a group recognized as "Method of the Year 2018" by Nature Methods. The business model focuses on the development and sale of these specialized imaging systems to research institutions and hospitals worldwide. Its product line includes the SUPERNOVA series of miniature two-photon and three-photon microscopes, such as the SUPERNOVA-100, SUPERNOVA-600, and SUPERNOVA-3000, designed to provide detailed imaging for studying cognition, drug development, and neurological diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Transcend Vivoscope serves the global neuroscience research community, providing tools that facilitate breakthroughs in understanding brain function. The company has engaged in partnerships with institutions like the China-Japan Friendship Hospital and Peking Union Medical College Hospital. It generates revenue through the sale of its proprietary imaging systems and related components. The company operates from locations in Beijing and Nanjing.
