The University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) marks the fifth anniversary of its establishment

Talent introduction and education are promoted simultaneously, and the team of high-quality teachers has achieved new breakthroughs. "Talent is the first resource", the fundamental source of the development of the department of health and medicine lies in people. The Department of Health and Medicine implements the introduction and education simultaneously, integrates the resource advantages and collaborative support of the university and the affiliated hospital, strengthens the supporting and leading role of high-level talents, focuses on introducing top scholars at home and abroad, and gathers outstanding talents in the world. Relying on the national talent plan and the Talent Plan of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, we have introduced a group of leading academic talents such as Prof. Cheng Linzhao, Prof. Weng Jianping, Prof. Liu Lianxin, Prof. Zhou Shaohua, Prof. Shi Jiong, and 59 outstanding overseas young talents such as Prof. Bao Wei. System documents such as "Management Measures for the Dual Employment of Talents in the Department of Life Science and Medicine" have been formulated successively, and a dual employment mechanism for the introduction of talents has been established. Relying on the National Innovative Talent Plan, the Talent plan of the Ministry of Education, the talent plan of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other ways to introduce a group of academic leaders and overseas outstanding young talents. In terms of institutional mechanisms, we should focus on cultivating fertile soil for talent growth and building an ecological environment for innovation. Formulated and issued the "PI Qualification and Assessment Management Measures for the School Department of Life Sciences and Medicine (Trial)". Through the establishment of PI system + teamwork, encouraging cross-integration and vigorously promoting the atmosphere of collaborative innovation, established mechanisms and projects such as the Life Science and Medicine sub-forum of Mozi Forum, academic regular exchange, academic annual meeting and graduate annual meeting. Attaches great importance to the cultivation of young talents, launches the youth PI growth and support program, including new PI training, new PI Mentor, mid-term evaluation and other systems, and strives to build a high-level teacher team with reasonable age echelons, obvious discipline characteristics, and first-class professional skills. The teaching staff has developed by leaps and bounds. Since 2017, 60 new PIs have been added, nearly 70 people have been selected for various talent projects, and three national Foundation committees have created innovative groups.

Dedicated to research and innovation, and contribute to people's life and health. In the past five years, the scientific research projects of the Department of Health and Medicine have repeatedly reached new highs, and the academic output has continued to accelerate. In the past five years, 823 million yuan of vertical research funds (excluding appropriations) were received, and the total amount of transfer and transformation contracts was 319 million yuan. In the "Cell", "Nature", "Science", "New England Journal of Medicine" 4 top academic journals published 12 articles (first unit or corresponding author unit). Major innovation achievements show an accelerated trend, and 6 papers are published in Cell, Nature, Science, and The New England Journal of Medicine in 2022 as the first unit/corresponding author unit. Eight disciplines (Biology and biochemistry, Clinical medicine, Environmental Science and Ecology, Botany and Zoology, Molecular biology and Genetics, immunology, pharmacology and Toxicology, Neuroscience and behavior) have entered the top 1% of ESI disciplines globally, with a total number of nearly half of the university. There are 9 key laboratories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Anhui Province and Ministry of Education and Anhui Province Medical Biotechnology Engineering Research Center, including Structural Biology, Natural Immunity and Chronic Diseases, Brain function and brain diseases, membraneless organelles and cell dynamics, Molecular medicine, Cell dynamics and Chemical Biology, Biomedicine and Health, Aging Biomedicine, blood cell Research and application. Establish a high-level public health research platform, and jointly build a public health research institute with Wuhan Institute of Virology, Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, and Anhui Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention to promote interdisciplinary research on public health; Aiming at the "stuck neck" problem in the health field, the Clinical Research Hospital of Chinese Academy of Sciences (Anhui Clinical Research Hospital) is built. Through the "bench to bedside" model integrating basic research and 300-500 research beds, a new clinical research hospital from basic research to clinical trials is built, and an innovation platform integrating production and education is built. It will lead the construction of the Hefei Comprehensive National Science Center's Big Health Research Institute, and accelerate the construction of a system for the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements. Original innovation achievements have emerged, represented by the second prize of the National Natural Science Award, the "Tocilizumab + conventional treatment" program for the treatment of severe and critical cases of COVID-19, and a number of top ten advances in China's life sciences. In the past three years, the transfer and transformation contract of the Department of Life Science and Medicine totaled 319 million yuan, including the transformation of heavy achievements such as anti-inflammation and anti-tumor technology, gene therapy technology for hereditary blindness and wAMD, and new technology of NK cell immunotherapy, initially formed an innovation ecology of effective connection between basic, transformation and clinical, and realized the institutional and systematic service of national and regional strategic needs. To provide innovative impetus for promoting high-quality development.
