BGI
Founded in 1999, BGI Gene leads the development of genomics with an innovative development model integrating “industry-university-research” and has become the world’s largest genomics research and development institution. The scientific research results of omics are applied in the fields of medical health, agricultural breeding, and resource preservation to promote the transformation of genetic scientific and technological achievements.
BGI uses its unique innovative education and talent training model to promote the development of comprehensive quality talents in the field of life sciences, and cooperates with Southern University of Science and Technology and the University of Copenhagen to build special colleges. BGI is also responsible for the establishment of my country’s first national comprehensive gene bank, the National Gene Bank, which will more effectively protect, develop and utilize China’s precious genetic resources, maintain national bio-information security, and enhance China’s strategy in the field of biotechnology. Commanding heights.
In March 2013, BGI successfully completed the acquisition of Complete Genomics, a US listed company, and realized the closed loop of the upstream and downstream industry chain of gene sequencing, laying a solid foundation for the long-term development of the biological industry.
The innovation and development of BGI Gene has become a model of modern enterprise development. In 2013, BGI Gene ranked second in FastCompany’s “2013 China’s Top Ten Most Innovative Enterprises” and was selected as the “2013 World’s Most Innovative Enterprise” by MIT “Top 50 Innovative Technology Enterprises”, selected as “Global Science” “2013 Top Ten Most Influential R&D Centers”, and won the 2014 World Technology Awards Biotechnology (Enterprise) Award.
BGI develops basic research, industrial applications and educational practices in parallel, following the development trajectory of “Science and Technology Cooperation”, “Science and Technology Services”, “Medical Services” and “Services for Everyone” to realize the dream of genetic technology to benefit mankind!
