College
of Life Sciences
The College of Life Sciences of Shanghai University
was founded cooperatively by Shanghai University, the
Shanghai Institute of Physiology and the Shanghai Institute
of Plant Physiology. The latter two institutes are prestigious
branches of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The dean
of the college, Professor Xiong-Li Yang, is a famous
neuroscientist and a member of the Chinese Academy of
Sciences.
Although our college does not have a long history, it
has already achieved a high level of prestige and adheres
to exacting standards. Meanwhile, our research and the
education we provide are 21st -century oriented. Our
first goal is to make our college one of the top life-science
research
groups in China by keeping up with the most current
progress in many fields, including cell biology, molecular
biology, neurobiology, modern biotechnology, bio-engineering,
and biomedical engineering. Our second goal is to provide
Shanghai and other communities in China with top-level
professionals proficient in both life-science research
and bio-engineering.
We offer two majors ¨C bio-engineering and food sciences
and engineering ¨C for undergraduates, and currently
provide master's programs in biochemical engineering
and food science. In addition, the college has founded
a key laboratory for cell and molecular biology and
a center for biomedical research and development. The
Life Sciences and Technologies major offered by the
college is one of the "under construction key majors"
in the national "211" project.
Our college is a promising one that boasts excellent
faculty members; fully one-third of the young professors
have earned their doctorates. The college is also well-respected
for its research ethics and excellent academic atmosphere.
With help from the many institutes of the Chinese Academy
of Sciences, we are working hard to broaden our students'
knowledge of life sciences. We stress both theoretical
research and applications, and teach our students to
use modern theories, new technology and their own creativity
to conduct research and develop practical applications
for their findings.

Committee of the Communist Youth League of China of
the College of Life
Sciences
The Communist Youth League of China of the College of
Life Sciences is an organization for advanced young
people in our college. As an assistant, reserve branch
of the Communist Party, the CYLC is responsible for
educating all students, executing the plans and policies
of the Chinese Communist Party and creatively carrying
out related work. The CYLC of our college has a proud
history and always serves in a pioneering capacity in
all activities in the university and our college.
The committee of the CYLC is the hub of the CYLC's work
on the students in our college. The committee has come
up with a complete set of working methods in the past
several years. A series of student activities were organized
by the committee, guided by the thoughts of strengthening
the education capability of CYLC and putting more efforts
on establishing grass-roots level CYLC organizations.
The activities included offering free blood tests to
the public and bone marrow donation
by our students. The work of CYLC in our college has
progressed steadily these years. And the efforts resulted
in significant accomplishments.
Besides establishing the CYLC organization, the committee
also stresses on the study of communism theories and
applications. We organize the communism study groups
in every CYLC branch to do their work, investigate what
the students think, organize the CYLC members to study
the theory of communism and the current political events,
help and organize students to participate in the practical
activities, to go to the society and have better understanding
of the society. By experiencing a lot of
practical trainings organized by us, all-around capabilities
of the students improved. We always learn from the experiences
from the previous work, and use the experiences in combination
with current student situation to find a more effective
way in our work.
