Interdisciplinary integration is an important feature of current scientific and technological development. It is not only an important source of new disciplines emerging, but also an effective way to cultivate innovative talents and meet the needs of economic and social development. Wuhan University Taikang Life Medicine Center is committed to exploring cutting-edge interdisciplinary issues in the fields of medicine and life sciences, gathering outstanding PI from different disciplinary backgrounds to jointly engage in interdisciplinary research in the fields of medicine and life sciences. Its aim is to promote academic exchanges between medicine and basic and technical disciplines, cultivate emerging research talents with interdisciplinary backgrounds, and promote the development of interdisciplinary research in multiple fields related to biomedical research. At present, the interdisciplinary research directions of Taikang Life Medicine Center include:

1. Nucleic acid chemical biology: Research the recognition and functional regulation of small molecules on the structure and modification of nucleic acids, develop high-throughput sequencing methods for nucleic acid modification, and apply them to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases including cancer.

2. Biomedical materials: constructing organic conjugated systems and functional polymers, synthesizing organic and polymer optoelectronic functional materials; Develop new liquid metal reaction systems to achieve precise synthesis of advanced functional materials; Design and synthesize new biomedical materials to bring innovation to the medical industry.

3. New drug synthesis: Efficient synthesis of organic functional molecules, development of synthetic methodologies for scarce active natural products and drug molecules, to promote progress in the field of drug research and development.

4. Single molecule biophysics: Developing super-resolution fluorescence imaging technology for biomolecules, studying the expression and dynamic processes of individual biomolecules in subcellular structures within living cells; Develop biophysical tools based on single-molecule imaging for precise characterization of cellular mechanical properties.
