"Shandong Provincial Genetic Disease Genetic Detection Technology Application Demonstration Center" was established in September 2016，It is approved by the National Development and Reform Commission，Shandong Academy of Medical Sciences, Shandong Pharmaceutical Research Institute, Zibo Maternal and Child Health Hospital affiliated to Shandong Academy of Medical Sciences and other technical support units jointly organized the construction of the state-level demonstration center covering the province。The demonstration center focuses on the development of new precision medicine technologies such as noninvasive prenatal DNA testing, genetic deafness testing, tumor gene testing, and pharmacometabolic genomics, and has built branch centers in 17 cities across the province to rapidly promote the development of clinical applications of precision medicine and genetic testing。
    The "Demonstration Center" takes Shandong Pharmaceutical Research Institute and Shandong Pharmaceutical Biotechnology Research Center as the technology research and development, quality control and data storage base, and Zibo Maternal and Child Health Hospital and the affiliated Hospital of Shandong Academy of Medical Sciences as the inspection base。At the same time, the Shandong Provincial Health and Family Planning Commission approved the establishment of a provincial third-party testing center and scientific research platform: Zibo Weikang Medical Laboratory, Zibo Weikang Medical Laboratory is the first third-party independent medical testing institution in Zibo City, and one of the few medical laboratories in the province。The laboratory covers an area of more than 1000 square meters, equipped with the most advanced high-throughput gene sequencing platform at home and abroad, BOBs molecular diagnosis platform, deafness gene screening chip system series mass spectrometer and other large advanced instruments and equipment。
    The "Demonstration center" will build a large gene database in Shandong Province，Through the province network layout，To promote the application of genetic testing technology in the prevention and treatment of hereditary diseases and oncological diseases，Branch centers were established in 17 cities of the province，Pilot projects will be conducted in demonstration units，Covering more than 100 hospitals in the province，It can meet the genetic testing needs of 200,000 people every year，Form a new technology incubation center, information center and genetic resource center that radiate the province，Lead the development of gene testing industry in our province，Achieve health and benefit the people。
