About Wuhan National Human Genetic Resources Bank

On June 10, the docking activity of biological cutting-edge technology development based on human genetic resources and the release ceremony of the first round of recruitment project "Qinggeng" plan were held in Wuhan National Human Genetic Resources Database. The event was jointly guided by Wuhan Municipal Bureau of Science and Technology and Wuhan East Lake High-tech Zone Management Committee, hosted by Wuhan Institute of Biotechnology, and hosted by Wuhan National Human Genetic Resources Database (hereinafter referred to as "Wuhan Sample Database"). Shu Hongbing, academician of the CAS Member, president of the Wuhan Institute of Biotechnology, president of the Medical Research Institute of Wuhan University, Zhao Feng, deputy director of Wuhan Science and Technology Bureau, Yan Xingchun, a first-class researcher of the East Lake High tech Zone, director of the Investment Service Center of the Construction Management Office of Wuhan National Bio industry Base, and others attended the event and delivered speeches. Wang Songlie, secretary of the Party Committee and executive vice president of Wuhan Institute of Biotechnology, presided over the event. The municipal science and technology bureau, the science and technology innovation bureau of the management committee of the East Lake High-tech Zone, the health care bureau and other administrative departments, and the relevant leaders of major hospitals and enterprises attended the event.   Uncover the mystery of human heritage resources and interpret the development code of life science and technology Human genetic resources (hereinafter referred to as "human genetic resources") are China's major strategic resources, which contain the code of life. They are the source materials for understanding and mastering the occurrence and development of diseases, and also the important guarantee for developing disease prevention and intervention strategies and promoting population health. They have become the important cornerstone and source of the development of the global biological industry. The human genetic resource bank is a huge "life bank" and a precious treasure house for breeding cutting-edge biological science and technology. With the theme of "Gather human genetic resources to create the frontier of science and technology", the purpose of this activity is to promote the key frontier technology in the field of biomedicine, and the goal of building a resource sharing platform and building a world-class biomedicine industry cluster, to jointly explore how to standardize the management and rational use of human heritage resources in the new stage of development of legalization, standardization, specialization and scale. Zhang Hongjia, deputy secretary of the Party Committee and president of Beijing Anzhen Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, made a theme report on "management and governance of human genetic resources in hospitals" around the current new situation of human heritage resources management, describing the importance of human heritage resources, the necessity of cooperation between medical institutions and third-party platforms, and the urgency of carrying out the development and utilization of human heritage resources according to law, and calling on all sectors to guide the application needs of human heritage resources, strengthen top-level design In terms of improving quality control, it is necessary to explore the "extensive sharing" model in various ways to promote the sustainable development of the sample library.   Dig human heritage resource information according to law and promote the transformation and open sharing of achievements Wuhan sample bank is the first third-party sample bank approved for preservation qualification after the promulgation and implementation of the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the Administration of Human Genetic Resources. It is a major achievement of the municipal science and technology bureau and the East Lake High-tech Zone to jointly promote the comprehensive innovation and reform experiment. With the strong guidance and support of the Ministry of Science and Technology, provincial and municipal governments at all levels, and a number of relevant hospitals and enterprises, Wuhan sample database has made phased progress. At the docking event, under the joint witness of leaders and guests at the meeting, Wuhan sample library signed the "Sub-bank co-construction and co-management sharing agreement" with Wuhan Central Hospital, and signed the framework cooperation agreement with Beijing Daxiang Technology Co., Ltd., Baizhen Biotechnology (Wuhan) Co., Ltd., Wuhan Ruiji Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Hangzhou Taiming Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and Wuhan Baiyinuo Biotechnology Co., Ltd, Carry out strategic cooperation around the preservation and utilization of human heritage resources, joint construction of sub-databases, technology development, achievement transformation and data sharin

Shu Hongbing, President of Wuhan Biotechnology Research Institute

On May 19, Shu Hongbing, an academician of the CAS Member and president of the Medical Research Institute of Wuhan University, arrived as president of Wuhan Biotechnology Research Institute, committed to promoting the Institute to build a national innovation platform. Han Jin, secretary of the Party Committee of Wuhan University, Zhao Xuemei, deputy secretary of the Party Committee, and Zhu Deyou, member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and head of the Organization Department, attended the appointment of academician Shu Hongbing. Liu Jie, member of the Standing Committee of the Wuhan Municipal Party Committee and secretary of the East Lake High-tech Zone Working Committee, issued the letter of appointment, Shen Yangdong, deputy director of the East Lake High-tech Zone Management Committee, read out the appointment documents, and Feng Li, deputy director, presided over the appointment activities. Wuhan Biotechnology Research Institute is the first new industrial technology research institute in Hubei, led by Wuhan University, integrating the scientific and technological resources in the biological field of universities and institutes in Wuhan, and established in the East Lake High-tech Zone. It has become an important carrier for undertaking major national scientific and technological tasks and an important platform for the integration of scientific and technological innovation resources in the biological field of provinces and cities. More than 180 enterprises have been born and more than 300 scientific research achievements have been translated. At present, the East Lake High-tech Zone is struggling to build the Hubei East Lake Science City and build a global life and health science and technology innovation center, of which Wuhan Biotechnology Research Institute is an important part. At the meeting, Han Jin introduced several measures and institutional arrangements of Wuhan University to promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. He said that the East Lake High-tech Zone has huge development potential and multiple national strategic opportunities. It is an important partner of Wuhan University to accelerate the construction of "double first-class". Wuhan Institute of Biotechnology, Wuhan Institute of Navigation, and the satellite signal ground receiving station have all settled in the Optical Valley. Wuhan University will, based on its own advantages, strengthen the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, transform technology into real productive forces, and directly serve the economic and social development of Optics Valley. Liu Jie thanked Wuhan University for its long-term strong support for Optics Valley and its deep participation in the technological innovation and industrial development of Optics Valley. The High-tech Zone warmly welcomed Academician Shu Hongbing to the post, and hoped that Wuhan Institute of Biotechnology would actively invest in the construction of Hubei East Lake Science City, constantly attract and gather high-end talents, and gradually become a new force of the national strategic scientific and technological force, and an important source of technological innovation in the biological industry, Help Optics Valley build a global life and health technology innovation center.
