On May 16, the unveiling ceremony of Nanjing Biological and Medical Electron Microscopy Technology Research Center (hereinafter referred to as the Electron Microscopy Center) was held at the Gulou Campus of Nanjing University. Zheng Hairong, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of Nanjing University and vice president, Tang Bocai, secretary of the Party Committee and director of Nanjing Municipal Health Commission, Xia Haiming, secretary of the Party Committee of Gulou Hospital affiliated to Nanjing University Medical School, Zhu Shining, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, professor of the School of Physics and the School of Modern Engineering and Applied Sciences of Nanjing University, and Gu Ning, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and professor of Nanjing University Medical School, attended the unveiling ceremony and delivered speeches. Dong Erdan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and Boya Chair Professor of Peking University, Pan Yongxin, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and researcher of the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Yu Chenggong, dean of Gulou Hospital affiliated to Nanjing University Medical School, as well as leaders of relevant departments of Nanjing University, party and government leaders of Nanjing University Medical School, and party and government leaders of Gulou Hospital affiliated to Nanjing University Medical School attended the ceremony. The unveiling ceremony was hosted by Shen Sunan, secretary of the Party Committee of Nanjing University Medical School.

Zheng Hairong said in his speech that the unveiling of the Biological and Medical Electron Microscopy Center is another practical measure for the school to thoroughly implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important reply and build a world-class Nanjing University with Chinese characteristics. It also supports the development of cutting-edge interdisciplinary peak disciplines and promotes the integration of campus and local areas. Another proactive move. It is hoped that the Medical College and Gulou Hospital will take the opportunity of jointly building the Electron Microscopy Center to continue to promote interdisciplinary research in biology, materials, and medicine, strive to provide more cutting-edge technical support for disease evolution mechanisms, clinical diagnosis, and pathological analysis, and cultivate more interdisciplinary talents. Top-notch innovative research talents strive to build the Electron Microscopy Center into a high-level electron microscopy technology research platform rooted in Nanjing, serving Jiangsu, and radiating across the country, and make new contributions to supporting cutting-edge biomedical research, innovative breakthroughs in advanced diagnosis and treatment technology, and even the Healthy China strategy. greater contribution.

Tang Bocai said that with the support of Nanjing University School of Medicine, Drum Tower Hospital achieved excellent results in the national tertiary public hospital performance assessment, demonstrating its benchmark status among public hospitals in Jiangsu Province. It is hoped that the hospital will take this as a starting point to cooperate in depth with Nanjing University School of Medicine to create a new highland for the coordinated development of medical, teaching and research, and make greater contributions to the development of Healthy China.

Xia Haiming pointed out that the establishment of the Electron Microscopy Center is an important way to accelerate the formation of new quality productivity and an important driving force to promote the high-quality development of the hospital. In the future, Gulou Hospital will give full play to the advantages of cooperation with Nanjing University School of Medicine, pool the superior resources of both parties, jointly promote the in-depth research and application of electron microscopy technology in the medical field, promote the innovation and development of medical scientific research, and solve practical problems in the medical field. issues, promote the transformation of scientific research results, and contribute to improving the quality of medical services and people’s health.

The seminar on the application of advanced electron microscopy technology in the interdisciplinary fields of materials, biology, and medicine was held simultaneously with the unveiling ceremony of the Electron Microscopy Center. The conference was co-sponsored by Nanjing University School of Medicine and Drum Tower Hospital Affiliated to the School of Medicine, with representatives from Peking University, Chinese Academy of Sciences Geology and Institute of Geophysics, Tsinghua University, Nanjing University, Fudan University, Zhejiang University, West Lake University, Southeast University, Stockholm University in Sweden, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Hohai University, Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, etc. more than 90 Senior experts and scholars in the field of biological and medical electron microscopy technology at home and abroad attended the meeting.

Zhu Shining expressed warm congratulations on the convening of this meeting and the establishment of the Electron Microscopy Center. He said that the emergence of electron microscopy technology has pushed people’s understanding of the world to the nanometer or even sub-angstrom scale, prompting breakthroughs in the research of nanomaterials and structural biology. The establishment of the electron microscopy center has great scientific and social significance and will surely Promote interdisciplinary research in biology, materials, and medicine, provide technical support for clinical pathology analysis, and cultivate high-end instrument equipment analysis and research talents for interdisciplinary subjects centered on medicine.

Gu Ning introduced the overview of the Electron Microscopy Center to the participating experts and expressed his gratitude to relevant departments and experts and scholars in the field who provided assistance during the construction of the Electron Microscopy Center. He hopes that the Electron Microscopy Center will be based in Nanjing, radiate to the Yangtze River Delta region, and build a domestic first-class and world-renowned high-level electron microscopy technology research center with the background of interdisciplinary medicine, biology and materials. Contribute to the construction of my country’s “scientific and technological power” and the development of high-level electron microscopy technology.

Academician Dong Erdan and Academician Pan Yongxin attended the conference and gave special reports at the conference
