Also known as the Second Affiliated Hospital of SYSU, the 185-year institution has developed into a top ranking general hospital in China, integrating medical treatment, disease prevention, healthcare, teaching, with high quality medical science and translational research. Rapid expansion has led to several campuses in the city and the Pearl River Delta region.
Integral to SYSU’s clinical medicine programme, which is ranked among the global top 1% in Essential Science Indicators (ESI) subject area ranking, the hospital plays a key role in the programme’s selection for the national “double first-class” initiative. With 7 national key disciplines and 32 key clinical specialties, the hospital now focuses on six academic clusters, including malignant tumours, cardiovascular systems, gynaecology and paediatrics, immunology and metabolism, geriatrics and rehabilitation, head and neck diseases.
Motivated by state-of-the-art clinical medicine and innovative science, SYSMH has built a core research center for generalized research and a specialized research center for targeted research areas and interests. Besides these two centers, SYSMH also has a large number of key laboratories, clinical medical research centers, engineering technology research centers, etc.. In terms of specialized research center, the hospital is now cooperating with Guangzhou Regenerative Medicine and Healthy Guangdong Laboratory in building the Center for Tumor immunity, Center for Cardiovascular disease and Center for Brain science as part of the Clinical Innovation Department of GDL.
Today, SYSMH is a collection of top-level research facilities, including the Medical Research Centers in headquarter hospital and Guangzhou International Biological Island, the Biobank, the Phase I Clinical Research Center, the Nanhai Center of Innovation for Clinical Immunity, ect.. All of which is fully equipped with dozens of millions RMB value of cutting-edge research instruments including Multi-photon Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy, Animal Ultrasound Imaging System, Ultra High Resolution Three in One Mass Spectrometer, Ultra High Resolution Microscopic Imaging System, PerkinElmer Vectra Polaris™, High Content Analysis System, ect. in over 40,000 m^2 of laboratory space. SYSMH provides new PIs a quick-start environment to help their career transition and development. In addition, the researchers can be Contractual Employed by the GDL and share more than 13,000 m^2 of specialized laboratories and first-class equipments as well as animal center of the GDL.
SYSMH builds upon a large pool of talents and a strong foundation in research. In 2019, Professor Song Erwei, the President of SYSMH, was elected as the academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences. Under the leadership of the hospital’s outstanding team, SYSMH adheres to the notion of “talent is the prime asset”, and provides a direct pathway to attract talented researchers by offering a “pyramidal” system for talent cultivation. It is worth mentioning that the hospital carries out the Sun Yat-sen Postdoctoral Program with academicians and national talents as supervisors. Via vigorous recruitment and devoted nurturing, as of now, SYSMH has 36 prize winners of national talent projects. Also, there are 148 award recipients of talent awards at provincial and municipal level.
With an annual funding of over 160 million RMB allocated exclusively for scientific research, SYSMH has an impressive capability in undertaking research projects at various levels. The number of grants approved by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) has been ranked among the top 20 hospitals in China for four consecutive years. Current approved landmark projects include ‘Project 973’, ‘Project 863’, National Key Development Project, National Natural Innovation Research Groups, National Natural Major Project, etc..
