Now hiring: five scientists with a passion for studying biodiversity and ecosystem dynamics - Instit To further strengthen its research, the Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics is currently seeking five scientists at assistant, associate or full professor level who share its passion for the study of biodiversity and ecosystem dynamics, and can convey their enthusiasm to a broad range ...

The Omics Core of PICB has been opened since Feb 1st. It provides not only high-throughput sequencing service, but also the data analysis support.

Welcome to OMICS CORE

The basketball team of PICB is participating in the Basketball Games of Shanghai Branch CAS. The first game against Institut Pasteur of Shanghai was on 8th Apr 2012, and the last game against Institute for Nutritional Sciences will be on 22nd Apr.

The rearrangement of offices caused by the expanding of PICB is now ongoing. Hope everyone will be satisfied with the new working atmosphere.

Otto Warburg International Summer School is now coming to PICB.

The new semester is coming. Here comes our new students!

The student union is now planning to support about 10 groups for different topics. The topic could be academic or non-academic. Each group will get some limited financial supports from the student union, but of course, also needs to provide the activity plan and report.

The application is coming soon!

The Introduction of PICB Produced by the student union, this is the introduction video of PICB, the Partner Institute for Computational Biology.

Welcome to ISDSB2011!

ISDSB2011 For the past years, active research in developmental systems biology has generated many promising and intriguing experimental, theoretical, and computational results.

Lost the basketball game against Institute Pasteur of Shanghai by 1 point. What a pity!

We are planning to make a webpage for students and student union. Does anyone have any suggestion?

This Thurseday, Kao Lin will talk about the Rice GWAS for 14 traints. it is good!

Mexico Obregon is so dry that no mosquito can live.

why UK-wheat, US-soybean, PRC-rice?

Wheat Genome Analysis is a hot point! UK is the leader.

CIMMYT is a breeding center, I am here now.

CIMMYT. International maize and wheat improvement center Sustainably increase the productivity of maize and wheat systems to ensure global food security and reduce poverty.

Scitable is a free science library and personal learning tool brought to you by Nature Publishing Group. It includes many fields of biology and it would be very useful for students who want to know more about biology and other subjects.

Scitable | Learn Science at Nature Scitable is an open online teaching/learning portal combining high quality educational articles authored by editors at NPG with technology-based community features to fuel a global exchange of scientific insights, teaching practices, and study resources. Scitable currently contains articles in the f

Live: All the academic presentations are finished. Now to the end of the meeting, Peter Serocka, the leader of our IT group, is giving us the introduction and outlook of our computational systems construction.

Live: We've entered the second day of our Annual Academic Meeting. Three members in the Comparative Biology Group just gave us great presentations about their works. Now it's Xianbin Yu' turn from the Plant Systems Biology Group to talk about his project with the title "Reconstruction of the Genetic Regulatory Network of Photosynthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana".
