Now we have more than thirty graduates at school and enroll joint training students and overseas students all the year. There are 1200 square meters for scientific research and over 370 sets instruments and equipment with the value of over 12 millions RMB. The laboratory is equipped with Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope, Flow Cytometer, Ultracentrifuge, high speed refrigerated centrifuge, fluorescence quantitative PCR, inverted fluorescence microscope, motored molecular imaging system and protein chromatography system.
Recent years, the staff of the laboratory have undertaken over ten national projects and more than thirty projects at or above provincial level, published more than one hundred academic papers on Chinese magazine and overseas journals. It is worth mentioning that some papers are published on the world-renowned journals, such as Nucleic Acids Research, Cell Mol Life SCI, Plos One and so on. Besides, the staff of the laboratory have published seventeen academic monographs, applied and been approved dozens of national patents. The lab is mainly engaged in developing the insect resources of Funiu mountain of Henan province and exploring and utilizing their potential medical value and industrial value.
3. Insect Bioreactor Engineering Laboratory of Henan province
The Laboratory is aiming at developing biological products produced by insect bioreactor, cultivating talents who will be equipped with the ability of developing broad-spectrum antibacterial polypeptide, interferon and antiviral antibody. Now the Laboratory covers the area of 2800 square meters, owns 350 sets of equipment with the value of over 20 million. There are forty four staff working in this Lab, including ten professors, fifteen associated professors and three PhD supervisors, and fifteen of them are master tutors.
The above Laboratories can be the intramural practicing stations for the postgraduates and also offer scientific research post for them.
