The Institutes for Translational Medicine (ITM) is an independent research facility under the direct administration of Soochow University. Its mission is to accelerate the advancements in strategies for patient care and health enhancement through bridging university-wide foundation in basic research with clinicians, patients, and the pharmaceutical industry. By soliciting expertise in various research enterprises across all campuses of Soochow University and affiliated hospitals, the ITM strives for excellence in translating discoveries from basic research in immunology, stem cell and cancer biology into novel therapeutic strategies and new products. In addition, by developing close ties with various government agencies, organizations and enterprises, ITM is expected to contribute to social and economic advancement locally and nationally.
The ITM is devoted to basic and translational research focusing on autoimmune diseases, cancer, metabolic diseases and as well as other common debilitating diseases. Four research platforms will be established to help accomplish the mission of the ITM: stem cell and regenerative medicine, immunology and related therapeutics, novel diagnostic techniques, and targeted and personalized medicine.
The ITM will recruit the best international talents to build a world class research team. The current faculty members include member of Academia Europaea, Chief Scientist of the “973” Program, and National Distinguished Expert, NSFC- International Senior Scientist, NSFC-Excellent Young Scientist, among others. ITM has been awarded numerous national research grants, such as the National Key Basic Research Project of China (“973” Program), NSFC key projects and international cooperation projects. Up to now, ITM has undertaken 47 projects of various levels. In recent years, the faculty members have published in various top academic journals, such asAdvanced Science, Cell Stem Cell, Cell Metabolism, Nature Immunology,Nature CommunicationsandNature ReviewNephrology. They are frequently invited to give speeches at international meetings. They also provide journal editorial services as Editor-in-Chief, Receiving Editor, and Associate Editor forCell Death and Disease,Oncogene, andCell Death & Differentiation, as well as serving on the editorial boards of many other international journals.
ITM is a major member unit of the State Key Laboratory of Radiological Medicine and Radiation Protection. It also houses Suzhou Key Laboratory of Tissue Microenvironment. It was designated as Jiangsu International Joint Laboratory for Tissue Regeneration and Functional Remodeling in 2021, and awarded the Suzhou Foreign Academician Workstation in 2022.
With the unique resources of Soochow University and the social, cultural and economic environment of Suzhou, the Institute for Translational Medicine is well positioned to achieve its mission and to become an internationally known biomedical research institution.
