On the morning of October 8, a seminar on "Drug Targets and Disease Mechanisms” of the State Key Laboratory was held in the lecture hall of the Integrated Laboratory Building, Nankai University in Jinnan District. Shen Yuequan, the Deputy Director of the State Key Laboratory presided over the seminar. More than 100 young academic leaders, post-doctoral researchers and students attended the seminar.

Professor Shen welcomed the researchers and students at the seminar, encouraged the researchers of the State Key Laboratory to enhance mutual understanding and communication, and to focus on "Drug Targets and Disease Mechanisms" to jointly develop the State Key Laboratory.

In this seminar, Lu Xinyi, Guo Yu, Shuai Ling, Liu Yijin and Yu Zhongbo were invited to deliver academic reports respectively entitled " Histone Chaperone FACT Modulates the Retrotransposon in Stem Cells", “Development of Neutralizing Antibody Targeting Novel Coronavirus Spike Protein", “Screening Key Functional Genes through Mammalian Haploid Cell Species", "Ribozyme: Create life, explore life and cure life" and "Application of Single Molecule Mechanics Technology in Medicinal Chemical Biology". The five lecturers separately introduced their research backgrounds, current scientific research progress and future development directions. Afterwards, the teachers and students at the seminar actively asked questions and interacted with the lecturers.

Finally, Professor Shen made a summary of the seminar. He recognized and thanked the five young scholars for their reports while hoping that the teachers could seize the opportunity to conduct targeted research and cooperation in the field of "Drug Targets and Disease Mechanisms" and innovate thoughts.
