Beijing Institute of Life Sciences aims at the national strategic goal and the important frontier of modern life sciences, promotes academic exchanges and interdisciplinary integration, improves the overall scientific and technological innovation ability, promotes the industrialization of biotechnology, and makes outstanding contributions to the development of life sciences and biotechnology in China, and is positioned in three major directions: scientific research, management and service. Give full play to the advantages of the seven research institutes in Beijing, improve the discipline structure and layout, plan and brew major research projects, carry out original and integrated innovative research, and realize the great unity and cooperation of the Beijing Life Science Team of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Beijing Institute of Life Sciences is committed to building and improving large-scale public support and service platforms and infrastructure, strengthening Industry-University-Research cooperation and international cooperation, and at the same time promoting knowledge innovation, transfer and transformation of scientific research achievements and technologies, making systematic, forward-looking and basic innovative contributions to the development of life sciences in China.
Beijing Institute of Life Sciences has a lean administrative office, which is responsible for the daily management of the institute and coordinating the relationship between the institutes, formulating the development strategy and planning of Beijing Institute of Life Sciences, planning and brewing major original and integrated innovative research projects, and making suggestions to relevant state ministries and commissions and China Academy of Sciences.
Beijing Institute of Life Sciences employs famous experts in life sciences and interdisciplinary fields to form an academic committee, which is responsible for reviewing the development strategy and planning of Beijing Institute of Life Sciences, suggestions for major research projects, application reports for interdisciplinary research projects, topics selected by Beijing Life Sciences Forum, and making suggestions on major issues of Beijing Institute of Life Sciences.
The leaders of Beijing Institute of Life Sciences hold joint meetings with the directors of their institutes regularly to discuss the development strategy of the institute, international cooperation and collaboration, and the enjoyment and management of large-scale public platforms and infrastructure.
Beijing Institute of Life Sciences has established an open, virtual and international interdisciplinary research center. Open research centers such as bioinformatics research center, chemical biology research center, stem cell research center and synthetic biology research center have been established to attract scientists to make full use of their research platforms to carry out interdisciplinary research. Virtual research centers include interdisciplinary science centers, strategic development research centers, immunology research centers, and global change biology research centers. And carry out interdisciplinary and interdisciplinary scientific research through project traction. International cooperation centers such as Sino-US Joint Research Center for Life Sciences, Sino-Japanese Research Center, Sino-German Research Center, and China-Canada Research Center strengthen the international exchange of scientific researchers, promote international cooperation, and improve the ability of scientific research and innovation through various forms and modes of cooperation.
Beijing Institute of Life Sciences strives to provide good support services for scientific research, and establishing a large-scale public support platform and public service center is one of the important tasks and functions of Beijing Institute of Life Sciences. By building large-scale public support platforms and public service centers, the level and level of scientific research services will be improved. At the same time, actively promote the transfer and transformation of scientific research results and biotechnology, and integrate research results for project financing and industrial operation.
Beijing Institute of Life Sciences established Beijing Life Science Forum and annual academic conference, selected high-level academic conferences, and promoted interdisciplinary integration.
Beijing Institute of Life Sciences is committed to improving the comprehensive quality of graduate students, cultivating outstanding talents, and offering excellent courses in life science and biotechnology and lectures in frontier and interdisciplinary fields for graduate students.
The establishment of Beijing Institute of Life Sciences coincides with the national long-term scientific and technological development plan and the promulgation and implementation of the third phase of the knowledge innovation project of China Academy of Sciences, which provides new opportunities and challenges for the construction and development of Beijing Institute of Life Sciences. Beijing Academy of Life Sciences will keep in mind the purpose and mission of the Institute, base itself on the national strategic development needs, and strive to play a leading and exemplary role in the development of life sciences and biotechnology in China, and make outstanding contributions to the development of life sciences and biotechnology in China.
research centre
Open research center:
Beijing Institute of Life Sciences will establish an open research center directly under it, including bioinformatics research center, chemical biology research center and stem cell research center. The open research center established by Beijing Institute of Life Sciences is only equipped with a few technical support personnel, and is open to all research institutes, providing technical support and technical services for researchers in research institutes and attracting scientists to make full use of this research platform to carry out interdisciplinary research.
Virtual research center:
Beijing Institute of Life Sciences will also build a number of virtual research centers, such as immune biology research center, interdisciplinary science center, strategic development research center and global change biology research center. To provide a platform for researchers to discuss specific scientific issues and share information regularly. The virtual center mainly plays the role of promoting academic exchanges and cooperation, and through the combination of dry and wet laboratories and virtual laboratories, it promotes the interdisciplinary and innovative ability. The wet laboratory of the researchers in this institute remains in the original institute. Beijing Institute of Life Sciences is responsible for establishing a platform for communication and information sharing, and carrying out cross-research and interdisciplinary scientific research through project traction.
International exchange and cooperation center:
Beijing Institute of Life Sciences will also build a series of international exchange and cooperation centers, with the aim of promoting international cooperation with the overall image. At present, the Sino-American Life Science Research Center has been established. Sino-American Life Science Research Center is a virtual research center jointly established by Beijing Institute of Life Sciences of China Academy of Sciences and American universities such as the University of Nebraska Medical College, and constantly attracts new American universities to join. The main task of the center is to strengthen the academic exchanges between China Academy of Sciences and American universities in the field of life sciences and promote the development of their strategic partnership. The main form of academic exchange in this center is the annual academic conference held alternately in China and the United States. The first annual meeting was held in Beijing in June 2008 with the theme of "Nerve and Immunity". The second annual meeting will be held in Omaha, USA in September 2009, with the theme of "Immunity and Tumors". In addition to the annual academic conference, researchers from both sides can also share information on scientific ideas, experimental ideas and technical issues through the online communication platform (under construction).
