Relevant leaders from Hubei Province, Wuhan City, East Lake High-tech Zone Development and Reform, Science and Technology, Industry and Information Technology, Health, Market Supervision Bureau, Drug Administration, CDC and other administrative departments, universities, scientific research institutes, hospitals and enterprises in Hubei Province attended the launch ceremony.
Deng Zixin introduced that the Wuhan National Human Genetic Resources Bank was jointly invested and constructed by Wuhan Institute of Biotechnology and Hubei Provincial Science and Technology Investment Group. According to the general idea of "government-led, multi-party participation, regional integration, open sharing" and the "1+N" construction model (i.e., one master bank and multiple sub-banks), it focused on the conservation and utilization of human genetic resources, technological development, achievement transformation and data sharing, through the layout of conservation The "three centers" of information and innovation, linking the advantageous resources of politics, industry, education, research, medicine and capital, promote the scientific protection and efficient use of human genetic resources, maintain biosafety, and promote the independent innovation of biotechnology, and become a powerful engine for the high-quality development of China's Optics Valley's life and health industry. Phase I of Wuhan sample library has the storage capacity of 15 million samples and the capacity of 30PB sample information storage and data comprehensive processing. It is the first third-party sample library approved for the administrative license for the preservation of human genetic resources after the promulgation and implementation of the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the Administration of Human Genetic Resources.

In addition, Deng Zixin pointed out that standardized biological samples are not only the source of basic and clinical research such as genome and functional genome, but also the key to achieving accurate diagnosis and treatment and clinical transformation. Wuhan sample bank is a new kindling of life in the East Lake Science City. Wuhan Institute of Biotechnology will fully support the building of a national human genetic resource bank that is "the first in China and the first in the world", and make positive contributions to improving the international competitiveness and global influence of the Optics Valley life and health industry, and promoting the innovative development of the life and health trillion industry.
Dong Chen said that the standardized and high-quality human genetic resource pool is a crucial link in the basic and clinical research of major diseases, the improvement of clinical diagnosis and treatment technology, tumor immunotherapy, public health and preventive medicine research, and the independent innovation system of life health industry. The completion of Wuhan sample library can accelerate the integration of scientific research institutions, clinical, public health and industry, promote China's life and health industry from "imitation innovation" to "original innovation", and make contributions to the cause of people's health.

Li Jiancheng said that Wuhan sample library has obvious advantages in scientific and technological resource sharing, "integrated innovation of" politics, industry, education, research, medicine and capital ", and seamless connection between science and technology and economy. Wuhan University has strong strength in talent recruitment, basic research, clinical research, disease treatment, and innovation. Wuhan University will, as always, vigorously support the construction and development of Wuhan sample database, fully promote the docking of resources, help build a unified, open and shared national human genetic resource database across the province, promote the sharing and efficient use of samples and information resources, improve the ability of scientific and technological innovation, promote industrial development, and serve people's health.

Wang Wei said that the completion of Wuhan sample bank will effectively solve the problems existing in the current construction of biological sample bank in China, such as scattered distribution, imperfect quality management system, lagging information construction, and lack of resource sharing mechanism. Tongji Hospital and Wuhan sample bank will continue to expand cooperation fields, deepen cooperation levels, and achieve win-win development in terms of sub-bank construction, management and operation, queue construction and resource preservation, cell resource preservation and transformation application, so as to promote resource sharing and efficient utilization, and boost the high-quality development of Hubei's life and health industry.

Liu Zhitian said that the Hubei Provincial Department of Science and Technology, under the scientific guidance and strong support of the Ministry of Science and Technology, actively promoted the construction and operation plan of Wuhan National Human Genetic Resources Database to pass the expert demonstration organized by the China Biotechnology Development Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology, and was successfully approved. In the next step, the Provincial Department of Science and Technology will continue to support and promote the protection and application of human genetic resources in the province, support the construction of the national network for the preservation and utilization of human genetic resources, and also hope that Wuhan National Human Genetic Resources Library will actively explore the feasible models and typical models for the construction and operation of domestic third-party sample libraries, maintain biological security, and support the innovative research and development of biological medicine, Help Hubei speed up "building a fulcrum, leading the way and writing a new chapter".

Wang Xiangwang said that the launch of Wuhan National Human Genetic Resources Bank is an important milestone in the construction of China Optics Valley Biomedical Industry Cluster, and also a landmark achievement in fully promoting the construction of Optics Valley Science and Technology Innovation Corridor. The East Lake Hi-tech Zone will earnestly implement the deployment requirements of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, build the Optics Valley science and technology innovation corridor with the East Lake Science City as the core, continuously enhance the capacity of science and technology innovation sources, strengthen the energy efficiency of scientific and technological achievements transformation, focus on building Optics Valley into a life and health industry technology innovation center with international competitiveness and global influence, and promote the innovative development of the life and health trillion industry.
