About Nankai University


Nankai University

    Nankai University was established in 1919 by the well-known patriotic educators Dr. Zhang Boling and Yan Xiu, inspired by adhering to saving the nation through education.

 

    With a century's inheritance, NKU has tutored a remarkable number of highly reputed alumni. The PRC's first premier Zhou Enlai, the founder of China's pesticide, chemistry, and introductory organic chemistry Yang Shixian, mathematician Chern Shiing-shen, physicist Wu Ta-you, playwright Cao Yu, one of the contributors to the Teo Bombs and One Satellite Project Guo Yonghuai and geologist Liu Dongsheng… all started at NKU.

 

 Breakthroughs include:


  1. - the use of technology to detect hazardous gases on spacecraft, such as Tiangong-1 and Tiangong-2, contributing to China's manned space program;
  2. - the use of robotic technology in cell micro-manipulation, leading to the birth of the world's first robot-cloned piglets;
  3. - the development of organic solar cells that set a new record in sunlight-to-electricity conversion efficiency;
  4. - the discovery of novel molecular mechanisms underlying inflammatory immune responses, contributing to progress in immunotherapy;
  5. - efficient synthesis of a natural product that can be used to treat glioma, a category of a brain tumor;
  6. - the development of automated bridge crane systems that have significantly improved work efficiency and safety.
