Introduction of Metabolic Control and Disease Development Sub-Forum

   Fudan-Guanghua International Forum for Young Scholars aims to create communication platforms for global young talented scholars of various research fields to discuss cutting-edge research spotlights, to resolve frontier academic problems and to enhance cooperation among distinct disciplines.

   Metabolic Control and Disease Development Sub-Forum will be held by Institute of Metabolism and Integrative Biology from Dec. 26th~ 27th.

Introduction to Institute of Metabolism and Integrative Biology (IMIB)

    The Institute of Metabolism and Integrative Biology (IMIB) of Fudan University is built based on the Double First-rate initiative, focusing on metabolism and integrative biology. We are devoted to promote interdisciplinary collaboration between metabolic researches and other disciplines in life sciences, including (but not limited to) cell biology, genetics, immunology, lipidomics and metabolomics, imaging, bioinformatics, biophysical modelling and engineering. With this integrative research approach, we aim to establish a world-class research center in metabolism and integrative biology.

     IMIB is located at the Jiangwan Campus of Fudan University, Shanghai, China. It occupies ~16, 000 square meters of laboratory space in a brand-new research building. With generous support from Fudan University, IMIB will build state-of-the-art facilities including an advanced imaging center, a lipidomics and metabolomics center, and an animal facility.

   IMIB is planning to recruit ~30 independent principle investigators (PIs) and unlimited number of postdoctoral fellows internationally. Highly competitive start-up packages/salaries/housing allowance will be provided for the qualified candidates. The research should be integrated into one of the three disciplines of IMIB namely, (1) the molecular basis of metabolic homeostasis, (2) development and intervention for metabolic disorders, (3) invention of new technologies and platforms applicable to metabolic and integrated biology research.
