8) Arieh Warshel Institute of Computational Biology, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen

Arieh Warshel Institute of Computational Biology (the “Institute”) is the first Nobel Laureate Lab established in CUHKSZ. The Nobel Laureate Lab is one of the important parts for Shenzhen "Top Ten Action Plan". The Institute is headed by Arieh Warshel, the Nobel laureate in Chemistry in 2013.

Arieh Warshel Institute of Computational Biology is intended to become one of the world’s most advanced computational biology centers, conducting research on cutting-edge biotechnologies (structural biology, molecular medicine, multi-scale biomolecule simulations, high-throughput Genome Sequencing analysis and translational research of gene diagnosis technology). Professor Warshel wishes to turn this institute into a platform where top researchers from around the world can collaborate and contribute. Meanwhile, the institute is to serve as a hub to boost significant global cooperative projects and to become a multidisciplinary educational center, nurturing young computational biologists.

The Institute will help to attract excellent researchers and open up new opportunities for Longgang and Shenzhen with respect to life science industry.

9) Kobilka Institute of Innovative Drug Discovery, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen

Kobilka Institute of Innovative Drug Discovery and Arieh Warshel Institute of Computational Biology are the first batch of Nobel laureate labs at the University. The Kobilka Institute of Innovative Drug Discovery (the “Institute”) is led by the by Brian K. Kobilka, the Nobel laureate in Chemistry in 2012. These two institutes is a significant milestone in the University’s attempt to evolve into a world research university.

Professor Kobilka will engage in directing and staffing the institute. His wish is that young and talented scientists could work on receptor structural biology, physiology and pharmacology in collaboration with top pharmaceutical companies to commercialize innovative drugs. Professor Kobilka works as distinguished professors in CUHKSZ, engages in research and sharing their research results with students. Research and talent cultivation should form a mutual beneficial relationship.

The Institute will help to attract excellent researchers and open up new opportunities for Longgang and Shenzhen with respect to life science industry.

10) Hopcroft Institute for Advanced Study in Information Sciences, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen

The Hopcroft Institute for Advanced Information Science (the “Institute”) was founded by John E. Hopcroft, the Turing Award winner in 1986. Prof. Hopcroft received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1964, and he is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

One of the purposes of establishing the institute is to provide an excellent research environment where scholars and scientists may conduct research on artificial intelligence and computer science.
