Xiamen University School of Public Health was officially established on May 20, 2011. Since its establishment, adhering to the school motto of "Harmony, Fraternity, Pragmatism, and Innovation", the School has developed a distinctive development model combining and promoting both field disciplines and experimental disciplines, and built a complete training system covering bachelor's, master's and doctoral programs. It offers two undergraduate programs (both selected as national first-class undergraduate program construction sites), Preventive Medicine and Medical Laboratory Technology, master's and doctoral programs in Public Health and Preventive Medicine, as well as a postdoctoral research station in Public Health and Preventive Medicine. The School has established several high-level research platforms, including the National Key Laboratory of Infectious Disease Vaccine Research and Development, National Engineering Research Center for Infectious Disease Diagnostics and Vaccines, National Medical Education-Industry Integration Innovation Platform for Vaccine Research and Development, Integrated Research Platform for Vaccines and Molecular Diagnostics, NMPA Key Laboratory for Research and Evaluation of Infectious Disease Diagnostic Technology, Xiang'an Innovation Laboratory, and P3 Laboratory.
Since its establishment, the School has closely integrated talent team construction with career development, always adhering to the talent philosophy of "making the best use of everyone and ensuring everyone has development opportunities". It has cultivated many high-level talents and teams, including the National Advanced Group in Fighting COVID-19, National Advanced Group in Education System, National Advanced Group in Science and Technology System in Fighting COVID-19, National Huang Danian-style Teacher Team in Universities, as well as academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, recipients of the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, Chang Jiang Scholars, and Baosteel Excellent Teachers. Currently, the School has achieved remarkable results in talent training system, scientific research, international cooperation and exchange, and social services, gaining good influence both domestically and internationally. In 2022, it was selected into the list of 18 high-level schools of public health in China.
The National Key Laboratory of Infectious Disease Vaccine Research and Development is a major innovation platform established for the health of Chinese people and national economic and social development. It was officially approved for construction in March 2023, with Xiang'an Innovation Laboratory and Xiamen University as its supporting units. The laboratory director is Academician Xia Ningshao, and the academic committee director is Academician Lin Dongxin. The laboratory has a total construction area of about 110,000 square meters and advanced scientific research equipment worth about 400 million yuan. Focusing on three research directions - common theoretical basis for infectious disease vaccine research and development, common key technologies for vaccine research and development, and innovative vaccine research and development for important pathogens, the laboratory aims to build a domestic leading and internationally influential highland for infectious disease vaccine research and development and talent gathering.
