On behalf of the consortium of life science societies of the China Association for Science and Technology,

Academician Rao Zihe expressed warm congratulations on the establishment of the society. He reviewed

the pioneering and development process of biophysics in China, and pointed out that the biophysics department

in Jiangsu Province started early, has a superior geographical location and a gratifying development momentum,

and a series of policies have made breakthroughs in biophysics in recent years. Finally, Academician Rao encouraged

all members to be down-to-earth, continue to work hard and achieve new achievements.

Academician Shi Yunyu pointed out that Jiangsu Province is one of the provinces with the best biomedical development

and talent education in China, and the establishment of the society will promote the integration and intersection of

multiple disciplines, train more outstanding young scientific research workers, and make the results of scientific research

work better serve the people. Academician Shi sent a message to the members and students present here, look up at the

starry sky, be down-to-earth, walk with love, work hard, forge ahead, and learn for life.

Director General Liu Pingsheng reviewed the development history of the Chinese Biophysical Society, which has worked closely with many societies such as the United States, Japan and South Korea to become an academic development consortium. He hopes that the society can actively participate in the work of the consortium to promote the development of life sciences in China.

Deputy Director Zhou Hengxin said that various national reform measures and the solid scientific research strength of Jiangsu Province have provided a broad space for the establishment and development of the society. It is hoped that the society can grasp the correct direction of development, base on legal management, strengthen its role, build a platform for academic research, academic exchange and successful transformation, and promote the continuous development of life and physical sciences.

Vice Chairman Feng Shaodong encouraged the society to build a first-class platform around key areas such as academia, science popularization, and scientific and technological services, and hoped that the society would strengthen political guidance, strengthen service functions, strengthen its own construction, and strive to build a modern science and technology society that is lawful, standardized, democratic and independent.

Yue Zhishun, director of the Academic Department of the Provincial Association for Science and Technology, proposed that the development of the society should consolidate the construction of political ideology, establish and improve the organizational structure, and implement the professionalization of the staff team.

Professor Wang Jianjun pointed out that the society should promote academic exchanges within and outside Jiangsu Province and internationally, actively carry out academic science popularization work, and serve the society in the way of "production, learning and research". Professor Han Xiao took the development of the Jiangsu Developmental Biology Society as an example and hoped that the society could strengthen academic exchanges with various societies.

Vice President Zhang Junfeng recalled the development process of biophysics at Nanjing University. He stressed the need to strengthen cutting-edge basic research, promote the deep integration of interdisciplinary disciplines, give full play to the advantages of the society's platform, and achieve common development and common prosperity.
