Construction of the first batch of 4 laboratories in Zhejiang Province started to build a world-class scientific and technological innovation highland

Zhejiang Daily, Hangzhou, July 16 (Reporter Zeng Fuquan and Huang Huixian) The reporter learned from relevant departments on the 16th that our province has decided to build the first batch of 4 laboratories in Zhejiang Province: Zhijiang Laboratory, Liangzhu Laboratory, West Lake Laboratory and Lakeside Laboratory laboratory. The Zhejiang Provincial Laboratory aims to build a "reserve team" of national science and technology innovation bases. It will further reshape the laboratory system in our province, promote the improvement of basic research capabilities in our province, accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and create a world-oriented, future-oriented, Radiate the innovation source of the whole province, and provide a solid guarantee for the high-level construction of an innovative province.

Zhijiang Laboratory takes the lead in building the Zhejiang Provincial Laboratory of Intelligent Science and Technology, laying out five research directions of intelligent perception, intelligent network, intelligent computing, big data and blockchain, and intelligent system, to create a core highland for the basic frontier research of intelligent science. Zhejiang University took the lead in building the Liangzhu Laboratory, namely the Zhejiang Provincial Laboratory of Systems Medicine and Precision Diagnosis and Treatment, focusing on the research and development of systems and multi-omics research and precision diagnosis and treatment of diseases, to build a domestic leading and world-class major scientific and technological innovation platform for life and health. Westlake University takes the lead in building the Westlake Laboratory, namely the Zhejiang Provincial Laboratory of Life Science and Biomedicine, focusing on the two major fields of metabolism and aging diseases and tumor mechanism research, carrying out translational applications and emergency medical research, and creating leading high-level basic applications in the field of life and health research platform. Alibaba DAMO Academy takes the lead in building the Lakeside Laboratory, namely the Zhejiang Provincial Laboratory of Data Science and Application. Facing the forefront of the world's data science and application fields, it conducts basic research and disruptive technological innovation, and promotes Zhejiang to become the source of innovation in the world's digital economy.

The layout of the first batch of provincial laboratories is clear: Zhijiang Laboratory and Lakeside Laboratory focus on the construction of "Internet +" science and technology innovation highland, while Liangzhu Laboratory and Xihu Laboratory focus on the construction of life and health science and technology innovation highland. It is understood that the average total investment of each provincial laboratory is about 10 billion yuan in 5 years, showing Zhejiang's determination and courage to build a world-class scientific and technological highland with extraordinary efforts.

Zhu Shiqiang, director of Zhijiang Laboratory, said: "We are accelerating into the era of intelligence. Zhejiang is focusing on the important core direction of intelligent technology to build a provincial laboratory. The innovative results will provide important support for the future intelligent society." At present, Zhijiang Laboratory has Deploy related projects in six major fields, including intelligent transportation, intelligent manufacturing, intelligent medical care, digital government, intelligent community and intelligent finance. Liangzhu Laboratory is committed to addressing the challenges of major mental illness, difficult undiagnosed diseases, and blood and immune diseases - all of which are closely related to the health of the whole people. Academician Liu Zhihong, director of the Liangzhu Laboratory, said that the laboratory is oriented towards future medicine, aiming at future diseases, developing future medicines and medical technologies, and creating a medical model suitable for the future.

What is particularly concerning is that the four provincial laboratories are all located on the innovation artery of the Hangzhou Chengxi Science and Technology Innovation Corridor, which will create an innovation source for the world, leading the future and radiating the whole province from a high starting point of the Hangzhou Chengxi Science and Technology Corridor. Provide plenty of kinetic energy.

"The construction of the provincial laboratory is an important part of Zhejiang's construction of a global innovation system and improvement of innovation efficiency. It is also a vivid practice of building a new nationwide system for key and core technology research under the conditions of a socialist market economy." The relevant person in charge of the Provincial Department of Science and Technology said, 4 As a representative new type of research and development institution in our province, the provincial laboratory has new characteristics in terms of organizational model, institutional mechanism, scientific research orientation, and method of transformation of achievements.

Ruzhijiang Laboratories creatively proposed the "Plateau Peaking" collaborative research mechanism, and achieved important breakthroughs in key core technologies with a number of domestic superior scientific research forces. Liangzhu Laboratory innovates the system and mechanism, and is committed to promoting the combination of clinical practice and basic research, and building a medical peak. Yu Hongtao, director of the West Lake Laboratory, said that the laboratory implements a long-term teaching and research personnel appointment system that is in line with international standards, and strives to build a high-level research team. Zhang Jianfeng, director of the Lakeside Laboratory, introduced that the laboratory will jointly build two core support bases for academic cooperation and talent training with relevant advantageous forces to build a future-oriented public service platform for data technology.

Next, our province will continue to increase the construction of the laboratory system, gradually form a laboratory cascade training system, and promote the high-quality economic and social development of Zhejiang.
