The delegation of Macau Innovation and Invention Association (MIIA) focused on two major research and practice platforms, namely, Cascade Biological Laboratory and Brain-Computer Interface Laboratory of the University. During the visit to the Sikai Biology Joint Laboratory, the experts of the delegation gained an in-depth understanding of the operation mechanism of the laboratory. As the only molecular biology laboratory at high school level in Tianjin, the platform has built a complete molecular biology experimental teaching system based on specialized gene editing system and cell culture equipment.
Here, students are not only able to systematically learn experimental techniques such as gene sequencing and microbial cultivation, but also transform theoretical knowledge into practical scientific research results by participating in top competitions such as the iGEM International Genetically Engineered Machine Competition, which has fostered a number of award-winning teams in recent years.
Afterwards, the delegation paid an in-depth visit to the Brain-Computer Interface Laboratory jointly set up by the university and Tianjin University, a cutting-edge scientific research platform that fully demonstrates the university's characteristic advantages in science and technology innovation education.
Relying on the scientific research resources of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence and Network Science of Tianjin University, the laboratory is equipped with 64-channel EEG acquisition system, intelligent rehabilitation robot and other advanced equipment. Students can participate in cutting-edge research through practical projects such as “brain-controlled robotic arm” and “neural signal decoding”.
During the visit, the two sides exchanged ideas on laboratory construction, emphasizing the need to break the boundaries of the traditional classroom and allow students to cultivate the spirit of innovation in real scientific research scenarios.
In addition, the delegation also visited our school's Wall of Honor, art classrooms and other special spaces to gain a deeper understanding of the school's achievements in nurturing people in science, technology, innovation and art education.
