SIST Associate Professor Zheng Jie, together with his collaborators, proposed a novel AI model named KG4SL, based on knowledge graph (KG) and graph neural network, and made a breakthrough in the prediction of genetic connections of Synthetic Lethality (SL). It can accelerate the discovery of anti-cancer drug targets and advance the development of AI pharmaceutical technology. This work was ac...

The content below was edited from the article on the third page of Wenhui Daily, August 16. The journalist was Li Chendan It’s not easy for a person over fifty to explore a new professional area, however, Dr. Zhu Chouwen is one who is doing just that. Dr. Zhu has made an identity transition from Vice President of Zhongshan Hospital to Director of Shanghai Clinical Research and Trial Center (...

Free-electron laser (FEL) is the light source that can produce intense X-ray radiation for a wide range of applications. It can generate ultrashort pulses at timescales shorter than femtosecond (10-15s).  At these spatial and temporal scales, there is little difference between biology, chemistry and physics, and FELs have revolutionized all three disciplines. FELs have enabled matter to ...

The research group led by Prof. Xu Fei at iHuman Institute o recently reported a new structure of the Frizzled receptors - an emerging class of cancer targets. They determined the first G-protein complexed Frizzled receptor structure and published their findings in the high-impact journal - Cell Research, with the title “Cryo-EM structure of constitutively active human Frizzled 7 in complex ...

Secretary of the University Party Committee, Vice President Li Ruxin presided over the ceremony honoring ShanghaiTech's 332 undergraduate degree students, 228 master’s degree students (144 of which are conferred as ShanghaiTech degree, 84 are University of Chinese...

Recently, rapid progresses have been made in Shanghai-XFEL Beamline Project (SBP) and Shanghai Soft X-ray Free Electron Laser Facility (SXEFL). Following the accelerator, undulator, and beamline commissioning, this 532-meter-long free electron laser facility is approaching in full operation and starts the data collection. On June 21, the first single-shot coherent diffraction imaging (CD...

Associate Professor Tu Junwu from the Institute of Mathematical Sciences (IMS) has recently published two papers in Advances in Mathematics, one of the most prestigious mathematics journals in the world.      The theories of Gromov-Witten (GW) invariant，Fan-Jarvis-Ruan-Witten (FJRW) invariant and  Bershadsky-Cecotti-Ooguri-Vafa...

Prof. Xu Lan’s research group from the Visual & Data Intelligence (VDI) Center focuses on top-tier research at the intersection of computer vision, computer graphics and computational photography, with applications in human digital twin technology, light field reconstruction, artificial reality and artificial intelligence for digital entertainment. Recently, the group has published two papers...

Deep learning has expanded its application to many real-world problems, but at the same time, it is found to be very vulnerable to some simple adversarial attacks. Though various defense mechanisms have been proposed to improve robustness of deep learning software, many of them are ineffective against adaptive attacks. Thus, it is an important and arduous task to study the attack and defense metho...

Prof. Gao Shenghua’s research group from the Visual & Data Intelligence Center focuses on using deep learning and sparse/low-rank models to explore the low-dimensional structure in huge high-dimensional data, and uses it to solve practical computer vision problems, including target recognition, action recognition, image or video generation, 3D reconstruction, etc. Recently the group published...

A team of scientists led by Prof. Chen Jia at the School of Life Science and Technology (SLST) of ShanghaiTech University, Prof. Yang Bei at Shanghai Institute of Advanced Immunochemical Studies (SIAIS) of ShanghaiTech University, Prof. Yang Li at the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Prof. Yin Hao at Wuhan University published a technical report article...

Assistant Professor Wang Xiong’s research group from Smart Medical Information Research Center at SIST is focusing on electromagnetic acoustic hybrid imaging, focused microwave and ultrasound hyperthermia for cancer, and research on electromagnetic wave and acoustic wave metasurfaces. Recently, the group has made a series of advances in the field of electromagnetic acoustic imaging. 1. Precl...

Recently, Dr. Zhao Suwen’s team at the iHuman Institute, collaborating with other scientists from Tianjin University, and the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR)/ University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) have solved a long-standing mystery of Z genome that comprises entirely non-canonical Z-T base pairs instead of canonical A-T base pairs in bacteriophages (Figure 1). Th...
