Albuquerque, New Mexico, October 19, 2026 — LabNews Media LLC, the independent U.S. publisher of the life sciences portal LabNews.AI, announced today that all content on the platform is now available in Chinese through automatic translation and is discoverable in China via Baidu, effective immediately.
The company said the move marks a significant expansion of its international reach and reflects its stated commitment to unrestricted scientific communication. “We are pleased about this substantial milestone, which facilitates international cooperation in the life sciences and further expands the dialogue between China and the rest of the global life science community,“ LabNews Media LLC said in a statement.
LabNews.AI, which covers biotechnology, laboratory medicine, digital health and the application of artificial intelligence in the life sciences, is now accessible to Chinese-speaking readers without language barriers.
