深圳市脑解析与脑模拟重大科技基础设施(脑设施)于 2020 年获深圳市发展和改革委员会批复,由中国科学院深圳先进技术研究院牵头建设,为光明科学城启动区的重点建设项目。脑设施总建筑面积5万余平方米,包含脑编辑、脑解析和脑模拟三大技术模块,具备跨物种动物模型的制备以及跨尺度神经结构功能解析的能力。

依托中国科学院深圳先进技术研究院脑认知与脑疾病研究所(脑所)和深港脑科学创新研究院(深港脑院),脑设施已组建了三大科学部(非人灵长类实验动物、啮齿类实验动物、大设备)和九大技术平台,致力于支撑深圳综合性国家科学中心和粤港澳大湾区国际科技创新中心的建设,将为脑科学与类脑智能领域的基础和临床前研究、产业生态打造提供全面的技术支撑,并实现信息和资源的高效共享。

Introduction to Brain Science Infrastructure

The Shenzhen Brain Science Infrastructure (BSI) was funded by the Shenzhen Development and Reform Commission in 2020. The Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences leads it. It is a key project in the starting area of the Guangming Science City. The BSI covers over 50,000 square meters of construction, including three major technological modules: brain editing, analysis, and simulation. It is equipped to prepare cross-species animal models and analyze neural structures and functions across multiple scales.

Relying on the Brain Cognition and Brain Diseases Research Institute (Brain Institute) at the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology and the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Institute of Brain Science Innovation (Shenzhen-Hong Kong Brain Institute), the BSI has established three major scientific divisions (Division of Non-human Primate Research, Division of Rodent Research and Division of Neuroscience Research) and nine technological platforms. It is dedicated to supporting the development of the Shenzhen Comprehensive National Science Center and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area International Science and Technology Innovation Center. The facility will provide comprehensive technological support for basic and preclinical research in brain science and brain-like intelligence and contribute to the development of the industry ecosystem while ensuring the efficient sharing of information and resources.
