virtual reality contents from the perspectives of fundamental research core techniques in
light field acquisition, storage, processing, rendering and display. Research on capturing, processing and tele-presence of 360-degree 3D dynamic real scenes up to the human-eye resolution. •
Center for Advanced Power and Energy Systems (CAPES): CAPES at ShanghaiTech aims to integrate the cutting-edge technologies including distributed
microgrid,
smart grid,
plug-in electric vehicle,
internet of things, and
big data; and to comprehensively optimize the whole process of power generation, energy storage, power distribution and utilization. •
ShanghaiTech Automation and Robotics Center (STAR Center): The STAR Center is working on Intelligent Algorithms, Software and Systems for Advanced Research and Applications in
Automation and
Robotics. It combines areas like Computer Science and
Artificial Intelligence,
Control and
Optimization,
Computer Vision and Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. •

secure systems, with an emphasis on mobile computing and security, Internet of Things security, software security, cryptography and formal verification. •
Network scIence CentEr (NICE): Work on
network communication, network security,
cloud storage, network information processing and massive
MIMO signal processing.
School of Life Science and Technology The School of Life Science and Technology conducts teaching and research in all fundamental areas of life science. Its research is focused on, but not limited to,
genomics and
proteomics,
epigenetics,
RNA biology,
systems biology,
stem cell biology and
regenerative medicine,
super-resolution microscopy,
chemical biology and
drug discovery, and
translational medicine.
School of Entrepreneurship and Management The School of Entrepreneurship and Management does not offer degrees but instead teaches all students of ShanghaiTech University in creativity and creative confidence,
critical-thinking and about skills which leads to learning how to innovate. Among others, courses are taught on
Economics and
Design Thinking.
School of Creative Arts The School of Creative Arts offers no degrees but it offers a non-diploma course with the University of South California and is planning to offer students art courses and lectures. The dean of SCA is
Li Ruigang, the former president of the
Shanghai Media Group and the chairman of
China Media Capital. The vice dean is John McIntosh, former chair of Computer Art in SVA, New York.
Shanghai Institute for Advanced Immunochemical Studies The Shanghai Institute for Advanced Immunochemical Studies is performing
antibody and
immunochemistry research, dedicated to the understanding of the basic structure and design of biological molecules. It has eight key laboratories in the fields of antibody design,
ADC chemistry,
phenotypic screening, structure
biochemistry, cell biology, stem cell biology, antibody engineering and antibody structure, covering all the capabilities that one needs to go from discovery of an important antibody through all the steps necessary to turn it into a drug. Besides, seven large technical platforms including cell sorting, imaging, protein and gene, HTS, informatics, analytical and animal sciences are also being developed.
Nobel laureate James Rothman is a Professor-in-Residence of SIAIS.
iHuman Institute The iHuman Institute focused exclusively on the basic and applied science of human cell signaling, with research groups in the fields of Chemical and Cell Biology, Chemistry, Antibody Development, Computational Chemistry, Imaging, Structural Biology, System Biology, and Translational Biology. Basic science is at the core of the iHuman Institute, with direct application to drug discovery.
