To commemorate the 50th anniversary of James Watson and Francis Crick's publication of the DNA double helix structure in the journal of《Nature》, the U.S. government designated April 25 as National DNA Day of every year in 2003, and held various celebrations. The scientific community of various countries also holds celebrations on this day every year. Mr. Yusong Chen and Dr. Xiaodan Mei launched the "World DNA Day" in China on April 25, 2005, and established a permanent venue for the event in Dalian to celebrate this international festival. It aims to promote the progress of biotechnology and industrial development in China and even the world through the introduction of international advanced intelligence in large quantities. With the help of this celebration, we will try our best to create an international biotechnology event and create an Olympics or Bio-Davos in the field of biotechnology. We hope that by holding such high-level international exchange activities, it will promote the development of the national bio-economy, accelerate the transformation of bio-tech achievements, promote the introduction of high-end talents, strengthen international academic exchanges and cooperation, encourage the younger generation to love life science, and promote bio-tech to the general public, to build a unique platform for industry-university-research-business peer making, achievement and technology display, career development, and commercial opening for the biological industry.
