The opening of Wuhan National Human Genetic Resources Bank is a concrete manifestation of the implementation of the national strategic layout, and is also a landmark achievement in promoting the construction of Hubei Donghu Science City.

"Standardized biological samples are not only the source of basic clinical research such as genomes and functional genomics, but also the key to accurate diagnosis and treatment and clinical transformation

Dong Chen, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and dean of the Shanghai Institute of Immunotherapy Innovation, said that to promote the development of the life and health industry, it needs to gradually move from "imitation innovation" to "primitive innovation", and it requires basic and clinical, clinical, and corporate closeness.

In his speech, Wang Wei, Executive Vice President of Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Secretary of the Party Committee of Tongji Hospital, said that human genetic resources, as a precious treasure house for nurturing cutting-edge biological science and technology, are the source material for understanding and mastering the occurrence and development of diseases, as well as the development of disease prevention and intervention strategies and promotion.

"Human genetic resources are the key source of basic research and the core link for large sample verification and rapid realization of translational research.

Liu Zhitian, a member of the Party Group and Deputy Director of the Hubei Provincial Department of Science and Technology, said that the operation of the Wuhan sample bank is not only an important opportunity for human genetic resources in Central China to accelerate the promotion of regional strategic layout, but also an important opportunity for Hubei to seize the frontier of science and technology.

Wang Xiangwang, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and secretary of the Donghu High-tech Zone Working Committee, delivered a speech and announced the launch of the Wuhan National Human Genetic Resource Bank

Subsequently, the Wuhan National Human Genetic Resources Bank and Tongji Hospital signed the ``Wuhan National Human Genetic Resources Sample Bank Tongji Hospital Sub-bank Joint Construction Agreement''; signed the ``Human Genetic Resources Preservation and Utilization Agreement'' with the Union Hospital; and the People of Wuhan University The hospital signed the "Human Genetic Resources Preservation and Utilization Framework Cooperation Agreement"; signed the "Human Genetic Resources Preservation Agreement" with Hubei Provincial Tumor Hospital; signed the "Hubei Provincial Fertility Preservation Center Co-construction Agreement" with the Tongji Medical Reproductive Center; and the Beijing Sample Bank Signed the "Strategic Cooperation Agreement"; signed the "Strategic Framework Cooperation Agreement" with Kangsheng Global; signed the "Cooperation Framework Agreement" with Huawei; and signed the "Strategic Framework Cooperation Agreement" with the Hubei Provincial Institute of Bioinformatics

"With the advancement of technology, as patients pursue the curative effects of diseases, it is very important to establish a national human genetic resource bank in Wuhan.

Zhang Hanrui, general manager of Wuhan Biobank Co.
, Ltd.
, made a special report
.

After the launching ceremony, General Manager Zhang Hanrui gave a special report on "Wuhan National Human Genetic Resource Bank Co-construction and Sharing Model", introducing the joint construction of key technology research and development centers, the joint construction of "1+N" sub-banks, cross-regional alliances, and industry needs.
In order to guide the layout, the cooperation of large-scale people's livelihood projects (large-scale cohort research) 5 co-construction and sharing cooperation models, we invite colleagues from all walks of life to jointly create an ecosystem of human genetic resources development and application
.

Gan Rongxing, Director of Shanghai Medical Clinical Research Center, presided over a special forum with the theme of "Building a Strategic Resource Platform to Help the Development of Trillion-level Life and Health Industry", Deng Zixin, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Dean of Wuhan Institute of Biotechnology, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai Dong Chen, Dean of the Institute of Immunotherapy Innovation, Wang Daowen, Director of the Department of Cardiology, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Zhang Hongyu, Chairman of Hubei Bioinformatics Society, Dean of Information College of Huazhong Agricultural University, Director of Hubei Provincial Anesthesia Clinical Medicine Center, Yao Shanglong, director of the Institute of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine of Union Hospital, made a forum sharing
.

"Hubei Province is rich in genetic resources and ethnic resources.
Wuhan sample bank is an important support carrier for basic research and clinical applications.
It can integrate clinical data and genetic resources to build a big data platform
.
" Academician Deng Zixin said when sharing , "Co-construction, sharing, sharing, and co-prosperity are the key words.
Here I call on everyone to regard the sample library as everyone's library.
" The whole province and even the whole country must establish an open sharing mechanism, and the Wuhan sample library can be more vital.
For the future translational medicine and translational medicine can provide better strategic support, "I hope everyone will work together and help each other in the same boat
.
"

During the forum sharing, Academician Dong Chen said that the future development of Wuhan's national human genetic resource bank requires its own unique technology and resources, and it must strengthen technological research to form products and industries.
"Wuhan sample bank chooses to invest in Optics Valley Biological City.
Operation is not just about building a sample bank, but also forming an ecosystem, gathering and supporting related companies, and truly acting as a fulcrum to drive the development of Wuhan's bio-industry
.
"

Hubei Province, Wuhan City, Donghu High-tech Zone Development and Reform, Science and Technology, Industry and Information Technology, Health and Health, Market Supervision Bureau, Drug Administration, Center for Disease Control and other administrative departments, in Hubei universities, scientific research institutes, hospitals and enterprises, etc.
Leaders attended the launching ceremony
.

It is understood that the Wuhan sample bank is the first domestic third-party sample bank approved for the preservation of human genetic resources after the implementation of the Regulations on the Management of Human Genetic Resources of the People's Republic of China.
Tube sample preservation capacity and 30PB sample-related information private cloud storage capacity, with a total area of ​​over 60,000 square meters, equipped with multi-omics technology service platforms such as cell, sequencing, single cell, mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetism
.

At present, the Wuhan Sample Bank is building an ecological circle of scientific protection and efficient use of human genetic resources that integrates innovation of “politics, industry, education, research, medicine, and capital”.
The social team has established a strategic partnership
.
Up to now, the Wuhan sample bank has signed agreements with more than 10 medical institutions for sub-library construction or sample preservation, involving more than one million samples, and the introduction of talent teams, the joint construction of innovation platforms, basic scientific research, and the transformation of scientific and technological achievements.
Progress has been made in this respect, and the underlying strategic support role of the innovation chain and industrial chain has been initially demonstrated
.

As a strategic resource platform for the key construction of the Great Health Industry Belt of the Optics Valley Science and Technology Corridor, Wuhan Sample Bank will be committed to becoming a national human genetic resource preservation basic platform and a national human genetic resource big data center, in order to more effectively develop and utilize human genetic resources , Accelerate the research and development of innovative drugs, promote the development of translational medicine, lead the transformation and upgrading of industries, and realize the great blueprint of healthy China and contribute to Wuhan's strength
