School of Chemistry and Chemical Biology Visits Peking University Ningbo Institute of Marine Medicinal Products for Research Exchange

On October 1, 2026, Professor Wang Wei, Dean of the School of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Eastern Institute of Technology (Ningbo), led a delegation to conduct a research visit and exchange at the Peking University Ningbo Institute of Marine Pharmaceuticals. Professor Zhou Demin, Director of the Institute, together with relevant researchers from both sides, attended the forum. The two parties engaged in in-depth discussions on discipline development, research planning, platform construction and achievement transformation.

Professor Zhou Demin introduced the Institute’s development history, functional positioning and research layout. The Institute houses four research centers: Marine Biomedicine, Biotechnological Drugs, Advanced Pharmaceutical Formulations and Medicinal Materials, and Analytical Testing for New Drug R&D. Focusing on innovative drug development and clinical translation, it actively promotes the coordinated advancement of basic research, technological development and industrial transformation.

Professor Wang Wei presented the progress of Eastern Institute of Technology (Ningbo) and its School of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, with highlights on the school’s educational positioning, research strengths, faculty team and talent training system. Committed to advancing the frontiers of science, the school prioritizes original basic research and strives to foster interdisciplinary integration across chemistry, chemical biology and related fields.

During the discussion, participants exchanged views on chemistry and chemical biology, marine biomedicine, biotechnological drugs, pharmaceutical materials and new drug discovery. Both sides recognized the strong complementarity between the school’s strengths in original basic research and the Institute’s focus on clinical demands and industrial translation. Moving forward, they will deepen exchanges and explore opportunities for shared research platforms, joint talent training and collaborative research. This collaboration aims to realize seamless linkage across the full chain of “basic research – technological development – achievement transformation” and contribute to biomedical scientific and technological innovation in Ningbo.

Also present at the exchange were He Qiuchen, Song Shuxiang, Zhang Jingyu, Sun Linian and Bian Jialu from the Peking University Ningbo Institute of Marine Pharmaceuticals, as well as Xu Qinghua, Zhu Chen, Yu Peng, Wen Shihui and Liu Xufang from the School of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Eastern Institute of Technology (Ningbo).
