Abstract: With the advancement of multi-discipline studies, how to promote interdisciplinary research and to train graduate students with motivation and ability to perform chemistry-related interdisciplinary studies has become a topic of great interest for universities with chemistry departments. Based on the experiences of developing the interdisciplinary research field of chemical biology at Nanjing University, this article demonstrates a practical way to promote chemistry-related interdisciplinary research and graduate student training through the construction of well-organized platforms such as the Chemistry and Biomedicine Innovation Center (ChemBIC) at Nanjing University.
