FyoniBio is an independent biologics service provider offering contract development and clinical laboratory services across the biopharmaceutical development chain.
Founded in 2019 and headquartered at the Berlin-Buch biotech campus in Berlin, Germany, FyoniBio operates as a contract development organization (CDO) and clinical bioanalysis laboratory. It continues the former service business of Glycotope GmbH, carrying forward more than 15 years of biologics and glycoprotein expertise built up by its team within Glycotope’s service operations; the company itself was established in 2019 and has operated independently since 2022. FyoniBio is a separate legal entity from both Glycotope and its group parent, Canton Biologics.
FyoniBio operates in the biologics contract development and bioanalytical services segment (CDO/CRO for biopharmaceuticals), serving biotech and pharmaceutical organizations in Europe, North America and Japan.

Dr. Xiao Shen, Managing Director of FyoniBio, is also the founder and CEO of Canton Biologics, linking FyoniBio to the wider Canton Biologics Group. FyoniBio nonetheless operates as an independent company in Berlin-Buch and selects GMP manufacturing partners on a project basis – these need not be Canton Biologics.
FyoniBio: Mission and Activities
FyoniBio provides integrated biologics services across three main areas, supporting biotech and pharmaceutical partners from early research through clinical development.
Biologics Development
Mammalian cell line and scalable bioprocess development for recombinant proteins and complex biologics. Includes human and CHO-based expression systems, feasibility studies, targeted genetic engineering, glycoengineering, clone selection, upstream and downstream process development, formulation development, process characterization and technology transfer support.
Analytical Characterization
Analytical services evaluating biologic drug quality, structure, activity and consistency. Includes biochemical analytics, mass spectrometry-based characterization, protein sequence and post-translational modification analysis, N- and O-glycan profiling, site-specific glycosylation analysis, critical quality attribute assessment, functional and potency bioassays, and custom assay development, validation and transfer.
Clinical Bioanalysis
GCLP-compliant bioanalytical services supporting preclinical and clinical development. Includes PK, PD, ADA and biomarker assay development and validation, clinical sample analysis, immunogenicity assessment, cytokine release testing, immune phenotyping, SNP analysis, and functional immune cell assays for biologics and oligonucleotide-based therapeutics.

FyoniBio: Not Identical With
Glycotope GmbH
Entity Class: Organization. Key Difference: Glycotope is a Berlin biotechnology company focused on drug discovery and development (tumor-specific antibodies); FyoniBio is an independent service provider that continues Glycotope’s former service business. Separation Reason: Different legal entities, different business focus (drug discovery vs. contract services) since the 2022 spin-out.
Canton Biologics Co., Ltd.
Entity Class: Organization. Key Difference: Canton Biologics is a China-based biologics CDMO and the head of the group FyoniBio belongs to; FyoniBio is the group’s Berlin-based service company. Separation Reason: Different legal entity, different country, different role (group parent / GMP manufacturing vs. CDO and bioanalysis services).
CantonBio Deutschland GmbH
Entity Class: Organization. Key Difference: CantonBio Deutschland GmbH is the German group entity that acquired the Glycotope service business; FyoniBio GmbH is the operating service company formed from it. Separation Reason: Distinct registered entities within the same group.
