An Introduction to the State Key Laboratory of Bioelectronics(Chien-Shiung Wu Laboratory)
¡¡¡¡ The Laboratory of Molecular & Biomolecular Electronics, Southeast University (SEU), now the State Key Laboratory of Bioelectronics, SEU, was founded in 1985 by Dr. Yu Wei, one of China¡¯s noted experts in electronics. The laboratory was conferred on the name of Chien-Shiung Wu Laboratory by the world-famous physicist Dr. Chien-Shiung Wu in 1992 and was approved as an open laboratory of molecular & biomolecular electronics by the Ministry of Education of China (MOE) in the same year. In 1997, the laboratory was renamed the Key Laboratory of Molecular & Biomolecular Electronics of the MOE. In 2005, the laboratory was named the State Key Laboratory of Bioelectronics by the Ministry of Science & Technology of China.

¡¡¡¡ The laboratory belongs to the discipline of biomedical engineering, which was accredited to be qualified to offer doctoral programs in bioelectronics by the Academic Degree Commission of the State Council of China in 1993, to be a provincial key discipline of Jiangsu in 1995. In 1998, the discipline was approved by the MOE to set up a postdoctoral research station and the professorship of Changjiang Scholar, and the discipline was assessed by the MOE as a state key discipline in 2002.

¡¡¡¡ Bioelectronics is the cross frontier of information science and life science, the development of which is of great significance to that of biomedicine and information science. The objective of the laboratory construction is to conduct frontier research in the light of the development of bioelectronics; to explore innovative methods and techndogies for biological science by means of the latest latest achievements in information science, and to apply these technologies to probe into life process of some seious diseases to human being.

¡¡¡¡ The research activities in the laboratory focus on the fabrication of biomaterials and biodevices, acquisition and sensing of bio-information, and application of bio-information systems. The research fields cover the preparation of nano(molecular) materials, assembly and characterization of molecular ordered structures, application of bio/nano materials, nano(molecular) devices, implantable bioelectronic devices, detection of single molecule and single cell, biosensor, micro-array chip, microfluid biochip, bioinformatics, application of biomimic information processing system, modeling and using of brain information system, et al. The laboratory has established the platform for the fabrication of bio/nano materials and study of bio-compatibility, the platform for the detection of single molecule and single cell, the platform for the study and the application of micro-array chips and post genomic technology, the platform for the fabrication and characterization of micro/nano structures, the platform for the analysis and computation of bio-information, and the platform for the development and application of bioelectronic devices. The above six platforms compose the facilities and technology systems for our innovative researches.

¡¡¡¡ The faculty of the laboratory consists of 40 full-time researchers, among whom there are 14 professors. The laboratory has 1 academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, two fellowships of Changjiang Scholars, two winners of the National Prominent Talents Foundation, two winner of Trans-Century Excellent Talents and three winners of New Century Excellent Talents of the MOE. A team of young scientists having various research backgrounds such as information science, electronics, biomedicine, chemistry, physics and computer has been formed in the laboratory and received special funds for innovation groups from the National Natural Science Foundation of China for its outstanding researches in 2001. The laboratory has undertaken and completed some key projects of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, some 863 hi-tech projects, and some other national major research tasks of ¡°the Eighth Five-year Plan¡±, ¡°the Ninth Five-year Plan¡±, ¡°the Tenth Five-year Plan¡± and ¡°the Eleventh Five-year Plan¡±. The faculty has published several hundreds articles in important international academic publications, obtained many provincial and ministerial awards, and held over 30 patents. More than 70 Ph. D students graduated from the Laboratory, and over 20 researchers have completed their post-doctoral work. The laboratory has organized many seminars and international conferences, and developed cooperation with the laboratories in U.S.A., Japan, Germany, U.K., France, Switzerland and so on.
