What is biology in the Academy of Medical Sciences and biology in Beijing?

Biology of the Academy of Medical Sciences generally refers to the Institute of Medical Biology of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, which is mainly engaged in applied research in the fields of medical virology and immunology, and carries out large-scale production of vaccines, immune products and genetic engineering products.

Beijing Biology refers to China Biology-Beijing Institute of Biological Products of Sinopharm Group, which is the earliest unit engaged in microbiology, immunology research and production of epidemic prevention products in China.

The Institute of Medical Biology of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (China Academy of Medical Sciences) was established in 1958. It is the WHO cooperation center for enterovirus reference research and the awarding point for master's and doctor's degrees of Peking Union Medical College and Tsinghua University Medical College. The Institute is mainly engaged in the basic and applied research of medical virology, immunology, molecular biology technology, medical genetics, molecular epidemiology, and experimental animals and animal experimental technologies mainly based on primates, and conducts large-scale production of vaccines, immune products and genetic engineering products.

The Institute of Medical Biology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, located in Kunming, Yunnan Province, is the largest research and production base of live attenuated oral polio vaccine in China. Since it was included in the national immunization program in the 1960s, vaccines have been produced and provided to more than 5 billion people.

After 1995, there were no cases caused by wild strains, which made great contributions to the control and eradication of polio in China. The Institute is also the largest research, development and production base of hepatitis A vaccine in China. Since the launch of 1992 vaccine, more than 65438 copies have been produced and provided to the whole country, which has played an important role in controlling the epidemic situation and reducing the incidence of hepatitis A in China.

The basic and applied research of Institute of Medical Biology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences focuses on viral immunology, microbiology, molecular biology, medical genetics, molecular epidemiology, laboratory animal science and other disciplines, and always focuses on the research and development of national vaccines, genetic engineering drugs and diagnostic and therapeutic preparations for major infectious diseases, forming a pattern of foundation, application and development.
