Recently, the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Science and Technology issued the "Notice on the Establishment of Shanghai Engineering Technology Research Center in 2020" (Shanghai Science and Technology Publishing House (2021) No. 38). "Shanghai High-Performance Medical Device Materials Engineering Technology Research Center" and "Shanghai Environmental Biosafety Instruments and Equipment Engineering Technology Research Center" were declared by USST as a relying unit，and all the projects have been approved for construction. So far, there have been 8 Shanghai Engineering Technology Research Centers in USST, 6 of which take USST as the supporting institution.
Shanghai High-Performance Medical Device Materials Engineering Technology Research Center focuses on the key technology research, product preparation and development of high-performance medical device materials such as medical stainless steel, medical magnesium alloy, and medical titanium alloy, and is committed to solving problems of the innovation and industrialization of high-Performance medical device materials. The key issues in this field will promote the development of medical device materials and the innovation of industrial applications in Shanghai and China. The Shanghai Environmental Biosafety Instrument and Equipment Engineering Technology Research Center combines the advantages of photoelectric technology and biological detection technology to build a monitoring-sampling-detection-protection-treatment technology, equipment and evaluation system for the prevention and control of environmental biological safety, R & D and promotion of new rapid detection equipment for viruses and pathogenic microorganisms, contributing to the prevention and control of major epidemics.
In recent years, USST has attached great importance to the construction of a high-level scientific research platform, giving full play to the leading role of the scientific research platform in talent gathering, innovative sources, and achievement transformation. The two Shanghai Engineering Technology Research Centers approved will further consolidate the discipline advantages and characteristics of USST’s high-level and first-class disciplines, focus on the frontiers of science and technology, promote inter-discipline, enhance the capability to serve local economic and social development, and contribute to the new development in the construction of high-level universities.
