The foundation of NIBS is to promote the development of China's life sciences, whose task is to carry out basic research, foster outstanding research talents, while explore new international operating mechanism that is suitable for research and development in China.

NIBS is dedicated to cultivate top-class students by tapping their internal potential and teach students in accordance of their aptitude. NIBS will endeavor to cultivate students with active mind and sharp critical thinking and develop their research capability and laboratory capacity. Students are encouraged to build up their academic communication skills in formal speech and writing skills as well as informal communication skills; researchers are supported to communicate equally regardless of their academic title, providing opportunities for them all learning from the well-known and leading scientists directly. NIBS has been and always will be trying its own best efforts to train large quantities graduate students with the level equivalent to US life sciences graduate students.

NIBS is governed by its The Board of Trustees (BOT), which is responsible for institute policy and consists of representatives from eight agencies, including the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), the Ministry of Education (MOE), the Ministry of Health (MOH), the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NNSFC), and the Beijing Municipal Government. MOST and the Beijing Municipal Government are primarily responsible for overseeing the operation of NIBS and provide the major sources of funding.

In April 2003, the BOT accepted the recommendation of the SAB and appointed Dr. Xiaodong Wang, a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and a biochemist and cell biologist from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.

NIBS now have more than 20 research laboratories and 12 core facilities here. The 20 research laboratories are as followed:Xiaodong Wang's lab、Feng Shao's lab、Minmin Luo's lab、Rongwen Xi's lab、Lilin Du's lab、Niu Huang's lab、Wenhui Li's lab、Mengqiu Dong's lab、Xinjian He's lab、Wanzhong He's lab、Liang Chen's lab、Zhiyuan Zhang's lab、Liping Wei's lab、E.
