生命科学领域新增3个全国重点实验室，5790万仪器需求曝光

Core Viewpoint - The Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Biophysics plans to invest a total of 83.01 million yuan in the construction of three national key laboratories focusing on epigenetic regulation, biomolecules, and cognitive science and mental health [2][10]. Group 1: Epigenetic Regulation and Intervention National Key Laboratory - The Epigenetic Regulation and Intervention National Key Laboratory was approved on January 18, 2023, and aims to address major scientific issues in epigenetics, particularly related to significant diseases and aging [3]. - The laboratory's mission includes gathering influential talent to lead the international forefront of epigenetics and fill gaps in the national innovation system [3]. - Key research directions include chromatin structure and epigenetic regulation mechanisms, phylogenetic and homeostatic epigenetic mechanisms, and chromatin regulation related to aging and disease [6]. Group 2: Biomolecule National Key Laboratory - The Biomolecule National Key Laboratory, established in 1989, has consistently received excellent evaluations and focuses on proposing new questions and discovering new phenomena in life sciences [7]. - The laboratory aims to break through key technological bottlenecks and establish a complete research chain for drug target identification and vaccine design [7]. - Research will focus on supramolecular assembly rules, structure-based biomolecule simulation and design, and elucidating the dynamics of the endomembrane system [7]. Group 3: Cognitive Science and Mental Health National Key Laboratory - The Cognitive Science and Mental Health National Key Laboratory was restructured from the former National Key Laboratory of Brain and Cognitive Science and aims to explore cognitive neuroscience mechanisms related to mental health [9]. - The laboratory will focus on understanding the emergence of consciousness and its assessment, as well as precise adjustments for mental health [12]. - Key research directions include mechanisms of consciousness emergence, assessment of abnormal states of consciousness, and precise mental health adjustments [12].
