On April 6, 2025, the annual exchange meeting of the National Natural
Science Foundation of China Excellent Research Group Project (formerly the Basic
Science Center Project) "Female Reproductive Aging and Fertility Reshaping" was
held at Shanghai Medical College, Fudan University. Academician Jin Li,
President of Fudan University, Professor Yuan Zhenghong, Deputy Secretary of the
Party Committee of Fudan University, Academician Ge Junbo, Dean of the
Biomedical Research Institute of Fudan University, Academician Xu Guoliang,

others attended the meeting and delivered speeches.
The Excellent Research Group Project (formerly the Basic Science Center
Project) was approved in 2022 and is jointly undertaken by Peking University,
Xiamen University, and Fudan University. The project is aimed at the major
strategic needs of national population health, focusing on the core scientific
issue of "female reproductive aging mechanism and fertility reshaping strategy".
It conducts interdisciplinary basic and clinical full chain research around the
development and aging of oocytes and embryos, stable microenvironment of embryo
implantation, and fertility reshaping. It will promote the transformation
process from basic research findings to clinical applications, explore and
develop new strategies for reshaping female fertility, and thus build a
personalized and accurate diagnosis and treatment system for female reproductive
aging related diseases.
Academician Jin Li, President of Fudan University, pointed out at the
exchange meeting that promoting healthy reproduction and improving the quality
of newborns is one of the important strategic goals of "Healthy China 2030".
This conference focuses on "female reproductive aging and fertility reshaping",
which has significant and far-reaching implications for the long-term
development of the reproductive field, as well as for the practical significance
of national and social development.
The project leader and project backbone respectively reported on the
progress of work in 2024 and the next stage of work plan, and exchanged and
discussed with the expert group. The expert group fully affirmed the progress
and achievements made since the implementation of the project, and put forward
constructive opinions on the project progress, research ideas and content,
