The Undergraduate Visit Activity for the Class of 2025 of School of Life Sciences, Tsinghua University Successfully Concluded

Recently, the undergraduates of the Class of 2025 from the School of Life Sciences, Tsinghua University walked into CIBR under the guidance of their counselors and League branch secretaries, and launched a cutting-edge scientific research visit activity that integrates both knowledge and practicality. CIBR provided the students with an in-depth and immersive scientific research practice experience.

Under the guidance of the researchers from the institute, the students embarked on their exploration journey in an orderly manner. Teachers from the Administrative Office and the Educational Administration Department successively introduced CIBR’s development history, research directions, progress in achievement transformation and postgraduate training system, helping the students form a preliminary understanding of CIBR.

During the laboratory visit, the explanations and discussions held at each laboratory and technical platform were packed with practical insights. Dr. Zhang Tingting from the Woo-ping Ge Laboratory gave a detailed breakdown of the principles and application scenarios of the laboratory’s core equipment, helping the students bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and experimental practice. Staff members from the Instrumentation Core elaborated on the customization process and technical advantages of precision scientific research equipment, allowing everyone to directly perceive the critical supporting role of advanced tools in driving scientific research breakthroughs. Dr. Li Zhen from the Biological Mass Spectrometry Center systematically introduced mass spectrometry equipment and related technical systems, accurately addressed the students’ academic doubts, and helped them deepen their systematic understanding of experimental technologies. NeuCyberNeuroTech showcased and explained cutting-edge achievements in brain-computer interfaces on site, sparking enthusiastic discussions among the students. The scenarios of in-depth integration of technology with clinical applications and industrial transformation effectively broadened their academic horizons and industry awareness.

The session of academic presentations and research life sharing was equally fascinating and illuminating. Shi Yixing, a doctoral candidate from the Shi Wei Laboratory, delivered a talk on the laboratory’s latest cutting-edge research findings. She unpacked the logic of scientific research and shared her research insights in accessible language, allowing the students to deeply appreciate the rigorous allure of frontier academic research. Meanwhile, drawing on her own experience, she shared the daily research and life routines of students at CIBR, helping the students form a concrete understanding of what a career in scientific research truly entails and further stimulating their enthusiasm for academic exploration.

At the end of the event, all teachers and students took a group photo in the hall on the first floor of CIBR, drawing a successful close to this research visit. This event not only enabled the students to step out of the classroom and directly engage with the cutting-edge research scenarios and core technologies in the field of brain science, but also ignited their enthusiasm for engaging in research in related fields. It is hoped that the students will take this visit as an opportunity to solidly lay a foundation of professional knowledge, keep a close eye on the frontier developments in brain science, and accumulate strength for their future endeavors in scientific research or the development of related fields.
