Established in 2014, this 4,000-square-meter center with a total investment of nearly 100 million RMB serves as both a public research service platform for acupuncture in South China and a collaborative innovation center for clinical efficacy research in acupuncture. Supported by the Key Acupuncture Specialty of the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Guangdong Provincial Key Discipline of Acupuncture, the center integrates basic acupuncture research with clinical studies, focusing on technological exploration in traditional Chinese acupuncture, electrophysiology, and neurobiology. It features an SPF-grade animal laboratory and macaque experimental base capable of studies on mice, rats, transgenic rodents, and primates, making it China's first platform for primate electrophysiological research under both acute anesthesia and chronic awake states. The center's robust research team includes 7 core PIs, 5 collaborative PIs, and 24 full-time faculty, featuring renowned experts like Prof. Xu Nenggui (Chief Scientist of China's 973 Program) and Prof. Tang Chunzhi (Leading Scholar of Guangdong's Acupuncture Discipline). Centered around electrophysiology, its multidisciplinary platforms cover traditional Chinese acupuncture, neurobiology, laboratory animal science, molecular biology, and medical imaging, forming a comprehensive acupuncture research system. Key research areas include mechanisms of acupuncture in treating brain and mood disorders, clinical methodology/big data analysis, and nano-acupuncture development. In recent years, the center has undertaken numerous national/provincial research projects, published over 700 papers (including 135 SCI articles), and collaborated globally with institutions like Stanford University, Harvard University, and China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences.
