In recent years, Chinese scientists have achieved remarkable accomplishments in the research of new technologies and methods in various fields of life sciences. Many cutting-edge technologies have broken the limits of existing techniques, exhibiting more advanced technical indicators. These breakthroughs have brought about significant scientific discoveries. Chinese scholars have been increasingly published in top-tier methodological journals such as Nature Biotechnology and Nature Methods, exerting great influence in the field of life sciences. Research on new methods and technologies has gradually become an important and mainstream research direction.

This session will select notable breakthroughs in new technologies and methods by domestic scholars in such fields as imaging, gene editing, spatial omics, single-molecule sequencing, de novo protein design and synthetic chemistry. Stay tuned for this academic feast!
