On May 20, 2024, Yunhai Biotechnology and Sichuan
University formally signed the "Agreement for the Joint Construction of
the Sichuan University-Yunhai Biotechnology Tetrahedral Framework Nucleic Acid
Technology Research Laboratory." This collaboration marks a significant
step forward for both parties in the field of tetrahedral framework nucleic
acid technology research.
Sichuan University is a prestigious institution in Western
China, renowned for its outstanding academic research and education quality.
The university has internationally leading research achievements in fields such
as biomedicine and materials science. The State Key Laboratory of Oral Diseases
at Sichuan University originated from the Medical and Dental Research
Laboratory established in 1936 at West China Union University. It was approved
as the Oral Medicine Research Institute in 1958, established as the Oral
Medicine Center Laboratory in 1983, and designated as a Ministry of Health Key
Laboratory in 1989. In 2002, it was approved as a key laboratory by the
Ministry of Education and Sichuan Province, and in 2007, the Ministry of
Science and Technology approved it as the State Key Laboratory of Oral Disease
Research, the only national key laboratory in China’s oral medicine field. In
2023, the laboratory was restructured and approved by the Ministry of Science
and Technology as the National Key Laboratory for Oral Disease Prevention and
Treatment.
The collaboration between Yunhai Biotechnology and Sichuan
University signifies the beginning of in-depth research cooperation in
tetrahedral framework nucleic acid technology, aiming to explore new frontiers
in biotechnology and contribute significantly to human health.
