National Biomedical Imaging Center (NBIC) was established in September 2020, which is an important strategic measure of Peking University for the construction of national major science and technology infrastructure and the construction of "double first-class". NBIC is an independent entity for scientific research institutions.

Peking University has made full use of its multidisciplinary advantages to build a national major science and technology infrastructure project of the 13th Five-Year Plan -- multi-modal and multi-scale biomedical imaging facility, and is committed to exploring frontier scientific issues and tackling key technologies. As the main body of imaging facility construction and operation, NBIC focuses on frontier exploration and technological innovation in the field of biomedical imaging science, provides technical support for basic life science and medical research, and provides solutions to major issues of life and health. At the same time, we will promote the innovative development of biomedical imaging technology, and promote the early realization of "created in China" in high-end scientific research and medical equipment.

Guided by national facilities, NBIC takes into account both free exploration and organized innovation, vigorously develops scientific research based on big science facilities, and strives to realize more "from 0 to 1" source innovation. Relying on big science facilities, it promotes the construction of frontier interdisciplinary disciplines of "imaging omics", promotes the change of scientific research paradigm in the field of life science, and cultivates future innovative talents in "big science" of life science and compound innovative talents in "new engineering" and "new medical science".
