Gu Jieyan pointed out that 12 PI members of the brain science research team of the School of Basic Medicine of Jiaotong University joined Songjiang Research Institute, which is an important measure to promote the integrated high-quality development of Songjiang Research Institute and Songjiang Hospital, and to serve the national strategy of the G60 science and Innovation corridor of the Yangtze River Delta and the needs of the construction of Songjiang New City. And put forward three ideas: First, the development goal of the institute should be closely combined with the development orientation of affiliated Songjiang Hospital. Songjiang Research Institute is an important carrying area for the China Brain Project and the brain science research of the School of Medicine of Jiaotong University. The final development results should serve clinical medical treatment, improve the service level of hospitals, and enable people to enjoy high-quality medical services. It is hoped that the Medical School of Jiaotong University and the health authorities can provide guidance for the top-level planning of Songjiang Hospital. Second, the platform construction of the research institute should be closely combined with the construction of first-class disciplines. With the help of the platform of the School of Medicine of Jiaotong University and the Songjiang Research Institute, the evaluation criteria of the top three hospitals should be compared with the "double first-class" construction of the School of Medicine of Jiaotong University and the "big health" strategy of the main department of Jiaotong University, supporting large-scale medical equipment and necessary high-end scientific research equipment and facilities, accelerating the construction of disciplines and talents, and constantly improving the interdisciplinary, cross-department and cross-industry interdisciplinary interdisciplinary system and mechanism. Effectively promote the intersection of medical and industrial, and fully promote the high-quality development of Songjiang Hospital and elevate the top three. Third, basic research should be closely integrated with clinical research. Through the form of project cooperation, talents training and discipline development are promoted, clinical research directions are refined, clinical problems are effectively solved and high-level scientific research results are produced, the core competitiveness and comprehensive strength of the hospital are comprehensively enhanced, and high-quality integration construction between the hospital and Songjiang Research Institute is further promoted. It is hoped that PI can carry out effective linkage with Songjiang Hospital to help the discipline improve the level of clinical research; Support the national strategy for the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta and the construction of the G60 Science and Technology Innovation Corridor, and contribute to the high-quality construction of a modern new Songjiang with "science and technology innovation, culture and ecology".

Duan Shumin delivered a speech, reviewing the integration construction process of Songjiang Research Institute and Songjiang Hospital for more than a year, a total of 10 PI has been introduced, and there are 5 PI in the process of entry, including 1 young top talent, 4 Shanghai Young leading talent (overseas), and 1 Oriental outstanding talent. This double employment of 12 basic medical school PI, including 2 young people, excellent youth project 1. It is hoped that the double PI can actively play the role of "mentoring" in the future, help the new PI of the Research Institute to precipitate savings, accumulate, and support and promote the output of scientific research results. The PI and double PI of the research Institute should increase the docking, exchange and integration with clinical disciplines, assist relevant disciplines to do a good job in the training of scientific research backbone and talent echelon, and promote the construction of scientific research culture of the discipline. By organizing academic activities on a regular basis to guide discipline members to organize scientific research ideas, solve experimental problems, apply for project approval and publish SCI papers, etc., cultivate clinical discipline members to strive for hospital-level three outstanding talents, districtlevel and municipal talents, etc., and make greater contributions to the integrated construction and development of Songjiang Hospital and Songjiang Research Institute. At the same time, I wish Songjiang Hospital and Songjiang Research Institute more brilliant achievements in the future work.

GUI Lili said that this signing is not only an important measure for the leapfrog development of Songjiang Research Institute, but also a concrete embodiment of the strong support of the Medical School of Jiaotong University for the construction and development of Songjiang Hospital. First, it is hoped that Songjiang Hospital will make persistent efforts to achieve the goal of "striving for a third-class A hospital and building a demonstration regional medical center" as soon as possible. The second is to give full play to the advantages of first-class scientific research of the School of Medicine of Jiaotong University and the Songjiang Research Institute, promote the deep integration of scientific research innovation and clinical practice, help Songjiang Hospital to carry out first-class discipline construction, achieve more major breakthroughs of 0-1, build Songjiang Hospital with high quality, and let the people of Songjiang get more sense of gain and satisfaction. Third, it is hoped that the new PI can further play the ability and advantages of the professional field, and do a good job of mentoring. Fourth, it is hoped that the directors of relevant clinical departments in the hospital can fully rely on the professional advantages of the institute and PI to strengthen cooperation, in-depth exchanges and common development. At the same time, under the leadership of the district Party Committee and the district government, the District Health Committee fully supports the development of the institute.
