The institute of TCM at Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine is expected to make headways in the component-based research and intelligent manufacturing of TCM in the near future, said an executive of the institute.

The institute which led by Zhang Boli, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and president of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, has made great contribution to the world's anti-COVID-19 pandemic struggle and performed a miracle by mitigating the COVID-19 illness using TCM in makeshift hospitals in Wuhan, Hubei province. The effort lured world attention on TCM.

Zhang said during an awards ceremony that Tianjin municipal government honors to the team for its commitment in the fighting against the novel coronavirus pneumonia: "During the campaign, the team has investigated more than 1,000 cases with different symptoms and analyzed treatment effects, which helped inform the choice between conventional modern medicine or the widely adopted and effective traditional medicines."

Zhang Junhua, director of evidence-based medicine center at the university and a head of the team, said researchers worldwide "has paid close attention to TCM".
