New targets of discoveryNankais College of Pharmacy targets major public health concerns.Produced bySince established in 2007, Nankai University’s College of Pharmacy, in line with the university’s commitment to boost its capacity to serve public good, has been committed to easing patient symptoms. Integrating Nankai’s strengths in chemistry, biology, medicine, pharmaceutical science, economics and more, it educates young talented students for careers in the pharmaceutical industry and develops
Engineering new medical solutionsFrom algorithms that mine medical big data, to intelligent diagnosis systems and surgical robots, a new interdisciplinary field, called intelligent medical engineering (IME), has emerged at the junction of engineering and medicine. The School of Medicine at Nankai University has launched China’s first IME programme to explore this.Produced byCredit: Nankai UniversityAdministering intelligent medicineWith subjects spanning intelligent drug discovery, medical robot
Credit: ARTBESOURO/GETTYFrom structural biology to drug discoveryTuberculosis (TB) is one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide, claiming the lives of 1.6 million people in 2017 alone. Life scientists at Nankai, led by Rao Zihe, a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), are investigating the molecular mechanisms behind the disease. “To end the TB epidemic and invent new, effective drugs, we need to enhance basic research,” says Rao. “New drug discovery cannot be separated from researc
