Abstract    As we enter the twenty-first century, molecular biology makes a great effort in the development of medicine. Translational medicine is a new concept in the area of international biomedicine during recent years. As a new branch of the medical research, the development of translational medicine is tightly associated with the advance of molecular bioresearch, and the establishment of molecular biology research center will play a significant role in the coordinated development of both of them.
