China News Online, October 28th (Chen Jingtongkuan) With the aging of society, the number of chronic non-communicable diseases in China is rising rapidly, bringing challenges to social development.
Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine-Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health, Chinese Academy of Sciences "Chronic Disease Prevention and Control and Health Promotion Collaborative Innovation Center" (referred to as the Collaborative Innovation Center) was formally established on the 28th.
Li Lin, director of the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told reporters that the Collaborative Innovation Center will be committed to the research of new methods, new technologies, new methods and new strategies for the prevention and control of chronic diseases, and further promote the publication of related innovations. And realize the strategic transition of the prevention and control of chronic diseases from "clinical treatment" to "preventive intervention".
The Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine (Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine) told reporters that the two sides will be guided by the key issues of chronic disease prevention and control and clinical treatment, focusing on cutting-edge technologies, strong original basic research, deep understanding of disease pathogenesis, and speed The application of scientific research results in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases.
Chen Guoqiang, dean of Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, said in an interview that the center will focus on improving the ability of researchers to raise major cutting-edge clinical scientific issues, and believes that the establishment of the collaborative innovation center will complement each other’s strengths and foster interdisciplinary, cross-field, and cross-disciplinary The systematic teaching and research team further enhances the level of talent training and scientific research and innovation capabilities.

It is understood that as early as 1999, the School of Medicine of Shanghai Jiaotong University and the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences proposed a cross-system cooperation concept.
Over the years, the two parties have gathered talents around the core research direction, focused on introducing and cultivating compound experts with a bi-disciplinary background in biology and medicine, forming a talent echelon with the characteristics of translational medicine research; in the medical application of stem cells, immune mechanisms and new prevention and treatment strategies A number of important scientific research results have been achieved in research, major disease mechanisms and new prevention and control strategies.
Chen Yan, deputy director of the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Changjiang Fan, deputy hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, signed the contract on behalf of both parties.
