School of life sciences, Wuhan University

The school of life sciences of Wuhan University has a long history, which can be traced back to 1893 when Wuhan University was founded. The Department of biology was established in 1922, the Department of Virology was established in 1978, and the school of life sciences was established in 1992 when the Department of biology, Department of Virology and bioengineering center merged. Through the efforts of teachers, students and staff, especially a group of well-known high-level biologists with profound academic attainments, rigorous scholarship, such as Tang Peisong, he Dingjie and Shu Hongbing, the college has become a research-oriented college with complete disciplines, strong comprehensive strength and great influence at home and abroad.
