The Institutes of Biomedical Sciences (IBS) of Fudan University， established in 2005 by Prof. Fuchu He (academician of CAS)，aims to build a leading biomedical research center in Chang-Shan-Jiao area. From 2005 to 2016, under the leadership of Drs. Fu-chu He, Lin He (academician of CAS), and Peng-Yuan Yang, IBS formed three main research directions, medical epigenetics, metabolic and molecular cell biology, proteomics and systems biology, and a state-of-art core facility supporting the three search directions. Since 2017, Prof. Junbo Ge, distinguished cardiologist and academician of CAS, has joined IBS as the current director, and Prof. Guoliang Xu (academician of CAS), renowned epigenetics biologist, has joined as the executive director.

The mission of IBS is to establish world first-class research institutes, achieve breakthrough discoveries in both basic biological research areas and clinical orientated studies fighting against life threatening diseases. At present, IBS research teams are tackling the key research and clinic issues centering epigenetics, cancer biology, molecular metabolism, structure biology, proteomics, chemical biology, bioinformatics, cardiovascular disease, tumor immunology, stem cell, microbiota, biomaterials and innovative drug discovery, et al.

The faculties comprise more than 60 full-time tenured or tenure-track principal investigators (PIs). And the majority research teams are supported by the International Co-laboratory of Medical Epigenetics and Metabolism (Ministry of Science and Technology), Shanghai Key Laboratory of Medical Epigenetics, and Shanghai Specialized Proteomics Platform in Severe Diseases.

IBS has made steady strides in improving our understanding of human health and disease and will continue to bridge the gap between basic research and clinical applications. IBS and all its research teams are actively recruit new faculty members and postdoctoral fellows to build a young, strong, exciting and diversified research team.  

We sincerely welcome outstanding scholars and motivated students to join us!
