The first artemisinin Research Center settled in Daxing, Beijing

Artemisinin research center of the first phase of the Chinese Medicine Science Park of the Chinese Academy of traditional Chinese medicine laid its foundation in Daxing biomedical base on Tuesday Beijing Youth Daily reported that as the first artemisinin research center in China, it will help Tu youyou's team to provide scientific research conditions for further research on the medicinal value of artemisinin Previously, artemisinin research was carried out in the Institute of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese Academy of traditional Chinese medicine, because of the limited conditions, many facilities were even placed in the corridor In order to improve the research conditions, artemisinin Research Center project was upgraded to a national level project Hu Wei, the construction party and project director of Beijing Construction Engineering, said that the artemisinin Research Center, with a total building area of 73000 square meters, consists of the main building with 13 floors above the ground in the middle and the large space laboratory, key laboratory and animal laboratory with three single scientific research buildings located on the East and west sides and 7 floors above the ground According to the plan, artemisinin research center will be completed in 2021 "The three buildings of artemisinin Research Center project are low in the East and West, and high in the middle The East and West buildings surround the main body in the middle to form a lift The overall shape of the building is straight outside and curved inside, implying the Chinese medicine practice of" the doctor is round, the outside is round inside, the outside is rigid inside soft " According to the person in charge of the Chinese Academy of traditional Chinese medicine, the main building of the project began to have a cantilever structure towards the outside at the high-rise, making the main building small at the bottom and large at the top, which also referred to the growth and blooming of artemisinin, the source of artemisinin In the center of the building, the shape of artemisinin molecular structure is used to build an octagonal hollow courtyard, which makes the spatial layout and lighting of the whole building more transparent The facade and curtain wall of the building will create a wide range of vertical lines Hu Wei said that unlike ordinary research buildings, artemisinin research center will be constructed in accordance with the highest domestic cleaning standards For example, the laboratory should be completely sealed, and only the purified air can enter the laboratory This requires that the indoor pressure is greater than the outdoor pressure, to prevent the inflow of outdoor pollutants, and to have more refined requirements for construction and installation It is reported that after the completion of the project, it will provide more solid research conditions and backup guarantee foundation for the artemisinin research center of Chinese Academy of traditional medicine led by Tu Youyou, and help the artemisinin research center to build a high-level, high-level, high-level, modern Chinese medicine research platform, open academic exchange platform and full coverage of artemisinin research support system The core base for evaluation of new antimalarial drugs in China and even in Asia.
