Brief introduction

      The Institute of Biomedical Innovation,Nanchang University focuses on national and regional health strategic needs, addressing major diseases threatening human health and cutting-edge scientific frontiers. With the goals of building a regionally first-class gathering place for high-level biomedical talents, a service hub, and a research platform, it emphasizes basic research and technological development in the fields of organoids and regenerative medicine, brain science and brain health, and tumor pathogenesis and prevention. The institute promotes interdisciplinary innovation integrating "Medicine + X" and provides original basic theories, breakthrough frontier technologies, and systematic solutions for safeguarding human health and disease prevention and control.

      The institute is a key construction unit under the Jiangxi Provincial Science and Technology Innovation Plan and the university innovation platform initiative, and one of the first batch of "Talent Work Demonstration Sites" in Jiangxi Province. It hosts several provincial and ministerial-level research platforms, including the Ministry of Education's "Innovation Center for Basic Research on Molecular Targeted Medicine for Solid Tumors," the Ministry of Education's "Organoid Biobank," and the Jiangxi Provincial Key Laboratories for "Brain Science and Brain Health" and "Precision Pathology and Intelligent Diagnosis."

      The institute currently has 71 staff members, including 40 high-level talents (Principal Investigators). In recent years, it has undertaken numerous national-level research projects such as National Science and Technology Major Programs, National Key R&D Programs, Major and Key Projects of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and has received multiple provincial and ministerial-level science and technology awards. The institute has published a series of significant research findings in high-impact academic journals, including Nature Neuroscience, Cell Stem Cell, Cell Research, Neuron, Developmental Cell, Nature Communications, and Biological Psychiatry.
