China News Service, Guangzhou, September 19 (Cai Minjie, Zhang Yang) The Brain Science Center of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University and the Guangdong Branch of the National Geriatrics Clinical Research Center were inaugurated in Guangzhou on the 18th.
Su Guohui, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and dean of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Central Nervous Regeneration Institute of Jinan University, said in an interview that day, brain science is a direction that cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area attach importance to. He hopes that the Greater Bay Area Brain Science Alliance will be established in the future to combine the differences in the Bay Area. The advantages of the city, the better development of brain science.
The brain is the most important organ of human beings. Understanding the structure and function of the brain is the most challenging frontier scientific problem in the 21st century.
Brain science has become a hot spot in global scientific research in recent years.
On September 16, the website of the Ministry of Science and Technology officially released the major project of Science and Technology Innovation 2030 "Brain Science and Brain-like Research", marking the official launch of the China Brain Project.
"Hong Kong's universities have strong scientific research capabilities and have an international perspective; Shenzhen has more technology companies and strong scientific research capabilities; Guangzhou has a sound medical system and a strong ability to transform scientific research results." Su Guohui said, first of all, we must do a good job of strategic research and research in brain science.
