大脑被誉为宇宙间最复杂的物体。脑科学研究是当前国际科技热点,也是我们理解自然和自身的“终极前沿",习近平总书记在全国科技创新大会、两院院士大会、中国科协第九次全国代表大会上的讲话中指出:“脑连接图谱研究是认知脑功能并进而探讨意识本质的科学前沿,这方面探索不仅有重要科学意义,而且对脑疾病防治、智能技术发展也具有引导作用。”
在深圳市政府的大力支持下,基于深圳先进院的优势资源,脑认知与脑疾病研究所于2016年正式成立。2019年,深圳先进院与香港科技大学共同牵头,汇聚深港多方脑科学研究力量,建设了深港脑科学创新研究院,这是深圳市以脑科学领域合作为模版,推动深港科技协同创新共同体建设的新起点和新示范。
深港脑院经过这几年的发展,紧密围绕国家脑科学的战略布局聚集了深港两地五家单位优势的脑科学研究力量,形成了分可独立作战,聚可合作攻关的70多个研究团队,已发表在国际顶级期刊的SCI论文超900篇;深港脑院还牵头成立了全国首家脑科学产业创新中心,推动成立了总规模11.6亿元的脑科学产业基金,用于支持脑科学与脑技术产业的转化与应用。
未来,脑所/深港脑院将以服务粤港澳大湾区建设、社会主义先行示范区建设及综合性国家科学中心的建设为目标,通过提升区域脑与健康科学领域的源头创新能力、人才培养能力、产业推动能力、科研支撑能力和战略咨询能力,为将我国建设成为世界主要科学中心和创新高地做出实质贡献。
The human brain is hailed as the universe's most complex entity. Brain science research, a global sci-tech frontier, represents humanity's ultimate quest to understand nature and itself.
Supported by the Shenzhen Municipal Government and leveraging SIAT's strengths, the Brain Cognition and Brain Disease Institute(BCBDI) was founded in 2016. In 2019, SIAT and HKUST co-led the establishment of the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Institute of Brain Science(SHKIBS), a benchmark for Shenzhen-Hong Kong sci-tech collaboration in brain science.
Aligned with national brain science strategies, SHKIBS has integrated strengths from five Shenzhen-Hong Kong institutions, forming over 70 teams capable of independent and collaborative research. It has published over 900 top-tier SCI papers, initiated China's first "Industrial Innovation Center for Brain Science and Technology", and launched a 1.16-billion-RMB industry fund to boost tech transformation.
Moving forward, BCBDI and SHKIBS will serve the Greater Bay Area, Pilot Demonstration Zone and National Science Center. By enhancing capacities in original innovation, talent cultivation, industrial promotion, research support and strategic consultation, they will contribute to building China into a global sci-tech hub.
