On November 21, after an in-depth investigation of the construction and development of our laboratory center, Vice President Liu Jie led the head of the Laboratory and Equipment Management Department to conduct a comprehensive inspection of all the research laboratories and postgraduate studios of our School, including the operation status of the equipment inside the laboratories, hygienic environment, construction regulations and safety awareness. During the inspection, Vice President Liu Jie pointed out the problems in our laboratory and emphasized that the laboratory is the core place for scientific research and teaching, must be managed in a standardized manner with improved safety measures.
