Approved by the Ministry of Education in 2000, the Key Laboratory of Biomedical Information Engineering was established on the basis of the former World Bank loan construction project-National Professional Laboratory of Modern Medical Electronic Technology and Instruments. The laboratory relies on Xi Jiaotong University. The current director of the laboratory is a professor, and the director of the academic Committee is Academician Yu.
The main research directions of the laboratory are: (1) medical information engineering and instruments; (2) Biomedical ultrasound; (3) cardiac electrophysiology and cardiac pacing; (4) Computational bioinformatics and its application technology. There are 34 fixed staff in the laboratory, including 2 professors1person and 7 associate professors.
The existing area of the laboratory is nearly 5000 square meters, which is relatively concentrated. There are more than 800 sets of existing equipment with a value of more than 48 million yuan, including 33 sets of large-scale equipment with a total value of 26.05 million yuan.
Since 2000, the laboratory has completed and undertaken 4 scientific research projects 1 14, including 8 national key scientific and technological projects of "973" and "863" and 37 national natural science funds. Won 4 provincial and ministerial awards and 9 invention patents. Published 452 papers in important academic journals at home and abroad, and more than 60 papers were included in SCI and EI/KLOC-0. The laboratory recruits 2 postdoctoral students, 25 doctoral students and 50 master students every year on average. And accept the experiments of visiting scholars and international students at home and abroad!
