HANGZHOU, May 21 (Xinhua) -- The eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou released a guideline on Monday to help boost innovation in the city's bio-medicine industry.

Hangzhou will work to become a leading city in China for research and development in the bio-medicine sector by 2020, with the sector's revenue exceeding 100 billion yuan (around 15.6 billion U.S. dollars), according to the guideline.

It also aims to become a bio-medical innovation city with global influence, said the guideline.

Hangzhou will prioritize developing new bio-technological drugs such as antibody drugs and new vaccines, according to the guideline.
