Abstract: Objective · To explore the preliminary experience of the construction of national major science and technology infrastructure for translational medicine in China, and to provide reference for their future development. Methods · The current situation, experience and enlightenment of major science and technology infrastructure construction at home and abroad were sorted out by literature analysis, relevant recommendations were collected through expert interviews, and the preliminary experience of national major science and technology infrastructure construction for translational medicine in China was summarized. Results · The experience and enlightenment that can be used for reference from the construction of major science and technology infrastructure at home and abroad mainly included 7 aspects, i.e. high-quality team construction, device sharing, industry-academia-research collaboration, international cooperation, the cluster effect producing, talents cultivation and the scientific data sharing mechanism. In China, the construction of major science and technology infrastructure for translational medicine started late, and had a good try at the above first 5 aspects, but not so good at the last 2. At the same time, self-experience has been formed in taking full advantages of the supporting institutions and getting funds through multiple channels. Conclusion · The construction of national major science and technology infrastructure for translational medicine in China should learn from the development experience at home and abroad, combine our own characteristics, explore and innovate the system and mechanism, and seek new breakthroughs.

Key words: translational medicine, national major science and technology infrastructure, experience at home and abroad, enlightenment
