On the basis of many years' construction and development, this discipline has formed its own featured research directions in stem cell and regenerative medicine, leukemia drug resistance, cancer molecular diagnosis and treatment, cardiovascular disease, traumatic disease and metabolic diseases. This discipline ranks top 4.2 ‰ in ESI global list, with national doctor and master programs and postdoctoral mobile station in clinical medicine, national first-class specialty and characteristic specialty, Jiangsu provincial brand specialty, national key specialty and a batch of provincial key specialties, 9 provincial talent teams, more than 60 provincial talents, more than 150 national and provincial projects, more than 20 provincial and ministerial level science and technology awards, more than 20 national authorized invention patents, and more than 500 published SCI papers with representative papers published in PNAS, Gut, ACS Nano, Oncogene, Stem Cells, Diabetes Care and other decent international journals.
