On April 28, 2024, the launch ceremony of the new version of the Microbial Safety and Health Network (www.mbiosh.com) was grandly held in Guangdong. At the meeting, Academician Wu Qingping of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, a researcher, delivered an academic report titled "Construction and Innovative Applications of China's Microbial Safety and Health Science Big Data."

The Microbial Safety and Health Network (referred to as MicroHealth Network) is an information exchange platform dedicated to promoting the joint construction and sharing of a big database of microbial safety and health science. Meanwhile, MicroHealth Network popularizes knowledge of microbial safety and health among the public through its rich科普content. Since its launch in July 2022, MicroHealth Network has been organizing frontline researchers in the field of microbiology in China and testing service teams to provide the public with the latest professional consultations and industry standards. This information has provided an important impetus for the popularization of microbiology in China. In order to further enhance its influence, MicroHealth Network initiated a revamp and upgrade in October 2023. The new version of MicroHealth Network has established eight major columns targeting the sub - fields of microbes and health, providing customized industry consultations and more convenient service information for people in different fields.

At the launch ceremony, Chen Mutong, Deputy Director of the Guangdong Provincial Academy of Sciences Institute of Microbiology, and Cai Zhihe, Deputy General Manager of Guangdong HuanKai Group, summarized the important role of the Internet in industrial development in the era of information and artificial intelligence. They highly praised the upgrade work of MicroHealth Network, believing that this revamp plays an important role in promoting the development of the field of microbial safety and health.

Subsequently, Academician Wu Qingping summarized the importance of microbes in industry, agriculture and medical fields in his report. He emphasized the key significance of the development and high - value application of microbial resources to industrial development. He shared his team's experience in the collection and transformation of pathogenic microbes, analytical microbes, health - functional microbes, phages and edible and medicinal fungi resources, and pointed out the necessity of establishing a big database of microbial safety and health.

Finally, Academician Wu Qingping, Director Zhang Jumei of the Microbial Safety and Health Research and Development Center at the Guangdong Provincial Academy of Sciences Institute of Microbiology, and General Manager Que Shaohui of Guangdong HuanKai Group jointly envisioned the future development of MicroHealth Network. The official launch of the new version of MicroHealth Network will help establish and promote China's microbial safety and health big data. It will enable Chinese researchers to quickly occupy the technical high ground in microbial research, promote innovation in China's microbial - related industrial chains, and support the development needs of the country's major strategies.
