Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health (GIBH), Chinese Academy of Sciences

Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health, Chinese Academy of Sciences (GlBH) was jointly established by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), the People's Government of Guangdong Province and the People's Government of Guangzhou Municipality after the SAR outbreak in 2003 and was officially founded in March 2006. It is the first research institute of CAS that focuses on local economic and social development and manifests CAS's cooperation with the local government. The establishment of GlBH has compensated the lacking of a national biomedicine research institute in South China, and has been regarded as a successful example in the exploration of building a new R&D institute in China.
