[Tide Yangtze River Delta] Visiting Asia's Largest Gene Sequencing Center: Deciphering the Code of Life
China Net, October 16 (Reporter Li Gaosi) Genetic data is a person's life code, and data about you may be stored here in the future.
Yesterday (15th), the reporter followed the "Tide Yangtze River Delta Co-construction Time" theme network communication event interview team into the National Health and Medical Big Data (Eastern) Center (hereinafter referred to as the Eastern Center) in Jiangbei New District, Nanjing City, to visit Asia The largest and world-leading gene sequencing center.
In October 2016, the country's first batch of pilot projects for healthcare big data centers and industrial parks were settled in Nanjing Jiangbei New District, and the Nanjing Jiangbei New District Biomedical Public Service Platform was responsible for operation and management.
The Eastern Center is committed to building the largest, most powerful, influential, and interconnected health and medical big data platform in Eastern my country, and strives to radiate 200 to 300 million people in eastern China in terms of health and medical data collection, development, and livelihood applications .
Build the largest gene sequencing matrix in Asia
The Gene Sequencing Center in the Eastern Center contains 40 of the world's most advanced high-throughput sequencers and more than 1,600 supporting laboratory equipment. The sequencing scale and throughput capacity is the largest in Asia and the world's leading.
Xie Kehui, Commercial Director of the Biomedical Public Service Platform of Jiangbei New Area, said: “On the basis of sample collection and data collection, the center uses the big data processing platform as the hub to establish a health care center based on information sharing, knowledge integration, and multidisciplinary collaboration. Data mining model, data results are applied to upstream and downstream industries such as pharmaceutical research and development, precision medicine, and public health."
The Eastern Center also provides public technical services for genetic disease genetic testing and personalized medical treatment for genetic technology companies in the new district, and cooperates with the industrial park to carry out project introduction in gene chips, liquid biochips, microfluidic chips, and chromosome karyotype analysis.
The health records and electronic medical records of 80 million people in Jiangsu exist here
The reporter learned in the center exhibition hall that the health and medical big data storage center here has a huge storage capacity and is equipped with advanced supercomputing equipment.
According to Xie Kehui, the personal health files and electronic medical records of 80 million people in Jiangsu Province and the image data of 174 tertiary hospitals across the province are stored here.
At present, the Eastern Center has built the health statistics cloud platform of the Jiangsu Provincial Health Commission to meet the needs of Jiangsu Province in medical and health big data governance, mining, and scientific research.
In the past year, the transfer of personal health files and electronic medical records of more than 64 million people in the province has been completed, and the image and pathological data, maternal and child health care data, and hospital supervision data of 167 tertiary hospitals in the province are being transferred in an orderly manner.
In addition, the center purchased 3 sets of BioStore II automatic and intelligent-80 degree sample storage management system, creating the first automated tens of millions of biological sample library in East China, and the storage scale ranks first in the country.
"Gene City" releases unlimited vitality
The Eastern Center has built Asia’s largest and world’s leading gene sequencing center, Asia’s leading mass spectrometry detection and analysis center, the domestic life and health industry’s strongest storage and supercomputing big data center, and the first tens of millions of automated biology in East China Sample center, the largest new drug testing center in East China, and the first precision medical laboratory invested by the government in China.
The Eastern Center serves more than 500 life and health enterprises and institutions across the country, with more than 100,000 batches of services, driving regional new output value of nearly 5 billion yuan, attracting more than 100 high-end projects, and incubating 60 entrepreneurial projects.
In terms of promoting "Internet + health care" civil affairs services, Xie Kehui said that the Eastern Center will build a health care service integration platform, promote data resource sharing and business collaboration between medical and health institutions, general practitioners and specialists, and build a smart health platform in Nanjing Jiangbei New Area The project covers 386 square kilometers in the direct management area of Jiangbei New Area, including key tertiary hospitals in the new area and various street health service centers. It will complete the real-time collection and management of electronic diagnosis and treatment data, and the application of artificial intelligence to facilitate the people and benefit the people. The development of health care.
