2. Introduction of SHIPM
        Established in 2017, the Shanghai Institute of Precision Medicine (SHIPM) is dedicated to developing Shanghai into a science innovation center. SHIPM belongs to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine and is affiliated with Shanghai 9th People’s Hospital. Dr. Ming Lei is the Executive Director of SHIPM. As a subsidiary institute to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, SHIPM has built its scientific research team to promote the precision prevention, diagnosis, and therapy against severe chronic diseases threatening human health, such as cancer, metabolic diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, etc., by orchestrating the power of the basic and translational research to address questions in life science. SHIPM has established six cutting-edge research facilities in the fields of Protein Engineering, Mass Spectroscopy, Electron Microscopy, Bio-imaging, Chemical Biology, and Bioinformatics. To become a precision medicine research hub with global influence, SHIPM is conducting extensive international cooperation and students exchange activities with Harvard Medical School, Yale Medical School, and the University of Michigan.

3. Organizer of the Sub-forum
        Dr. Lei Ming: Professor, the Executive Director of SHIPM, Council Member of Asia Pacific Protein Association, the Vice President of the Biophysical Society of China, and the Vice President of Protein Society, CSBMB.
