Abstract
The road to a first-class research institute: creating an exceptional environment, recruiting outstanding scientists, producing high-impact work, and nurturing a culture of innovation\u2014Preface to the 60th anniversary special issue
Highlights
A series of major accomplishments in modern physics during the 1950’s led to the rise of biophysics as a discipline and its development throughout the world, and it was urgent to fill the gap in China’s biophysics research
In order to support the national defense project of the ‘‘Atomic and hydrogen bombs and man-made satellites,’’ through the efforts of Dr Shizhang Bei, the State Council of China approved the transformation of the Beijing Institute of Experimental Biology into the Institute of Biophysics (IBP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) on 26th September, 1958
The Institute has attracted a group of outstanding scientists and made many great accomplishments in scientific research, leading and promoting research and development in China on radiobiology, cosmology, cell biology, enzymology, structural biology, membrane biology, neurobiology, biocybernetics, and biophysical engineering
