On July 2nd, the opening ceremony of the "Thousands of Materia Medica Projects" and the establishment ceremony of the Research Alliance of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine was held at the school museum. Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine will cooperate with the major genetic advantage scientific research teams, agricultural and traditional Chinese medicine universities and traditional medicine -related scientific research units in various countries. Based on the pharmaceutical plant species included in the eight major pharmacies in the world, systematically collects and sort out thousands of medicinal plant resources , Establish a resource entity library and create the "Compendium of Materia Medica" in the new era.

At the press conference, Zhang Boli, Honorary Dean of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and director of the Department of Medicine and Health, pointed out that the research on grass genes is the basic project of modern Chinese medicine research, and it is strategic significance to strengthen the research and protection of species sources. He put forward five suggestions on the implementation of the plan: First, the "Fame and Fund" carried out the research work of the grass gene, and registered with the world health organizations and other related institutions as soon as possible; The third is to carry out team training, while absorbing more extensive efforts, do a good job of assessing the consistency of research conditions; the fourth is to adhere to the transformation and transformation of the edge of research, re -divide the distribution of the medicinal materials based on the obtaining genetic information, and strengthen the auxiliary cultivation of endangered medicinal materials; It is a major special plan for applying for the country to promote the plan to be included in the country's research plan and project system. Zhang Boli emphasized that Chinese medicine people should strengthen cultural self -confidence, firmly grasp the original initiative of science and technology, and promote Chinese medicine to the world.
