In the afternoon of May 18, 2011, The chairman of the board James G. Cullen, the president & CEO William P. Sullivan and the entire board members of Agilent Technologies visited the Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IBPCAS). Agilent Technologies Inc. is a famous measurement company focusing on electronics, communications, life sciences and chemical analysis. As a Chinese leading institution in protein science, IBP started collaboration with Agilent Technologies in 2010 by establishing a joint laboratory for proteomics.

Prof. Rongqiao He, deputy director of IBP welcomed and hosted a meeting with Agilent leaders at the institute’s meeting room 9408. Prof. Fuquan Yang, Chief Scientist for Mass Spectrometry, Prof. Wei Feng, and Dr. Lei Zhang, director of IBP’s international liaison office attended the meeting. After Prof. He’s welcome address, Dr. Zhang gave a brief introduction of the institute. Prof. Yang introduced the laboratory of proteomics and its future developmental plan. He expressed the wish to further collaborate with Agilent Technologies base on the IBP-Agilent joint laboratory for proteomics. Then Prof. He answered the questions from the guests and further demonstrated the research progress in the field of brain and cognitive science.

Mr. Cullen and all Agilent’s Board Members were very happy to visit IBP and impressed by the institute’s research capabilities, achievements and high standard facilities for protein science. Mr. Cullen wished to expand collaboration with IBP in the field of proteomics, metabolomics and structural biology.

The meeting was followed by a tour of proteomics research facilities. Prof. Yang introduced to the guests the laboratory of proteomics, including research interests, method development and application, facility services and so on. The both sides believe that the collaboration will contribute more to the scientific research in the field of proteomics and metabolomics in the future.
