The Frontiers Science Center for Transformative Molecules (FSCTM) Approved by China's Ministry of Education on December 31, 2019, the Frontiers Science Center for Transformative Molecules (FSCTM) is a world-class research institution at the forefront of molecular science. As a direct research affiliate of Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), it is located on SJTU's Zhangjiang Campus, with immediate proximity to the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF). As a key component of the Zhangjiang Comprehensive National Science Center in Shanghai, FSCTM serves as a premier hub for groundbreaking molecular research.

Leveraging SJTU's academic excellence in its "Double First-Class" disciplines—including Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Engineering, Biology, and Pharmacy—the center integrates multidisciplinary expertise to pioneer transformative advancements in molecular science. Its research focuses on four strategic domains:

• Transformative Small Molecules

• Transformative Macromolecules

• Transformative Supramolecular Systems

• Ultrafast In Situ Molecular Characterization Technologies

Led by Chief Scientist Academician Kui-Ling Ding (President of SJTU), FSCTM operates under a dual governance structure, consisting of a Management Committee and an Academic Committee composed of internationally renowned scientists.

Aligned with China's strategic priorities, FSCTM is dedicated to:

• Enhancing national innovation capacity through interdisciplinary collaboration

• Leading major national research initiatives

• Cultivating global scientific partnerships

• Developing into an internationally recognized platform for molecular research and talent development

By pursuing cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs, FSCTM aims to establish global leadership in molecular science and drive transformative discoveries with worldwide impact.
