Ever since the establishment of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, the experimental facilities have been gradually improved. Because of the relaxed academic atmosphere and funding, the institute successfully attracted a large number of overseas talents.
The Institute for Advanced Study used to be a small private institute with four major institutes, namely mathematics, physics, computational materials, and information science. Because of the fresh talents, it gradually evolved into a large institute, with a large range of subjects.
After the second and third phase of the research institute was completed, teams inside the institutes branched off from their former institute and formed their own research institutes.
For example, the Institute of Biochemistry used to be part of the Institute of Computational Materials.
