With the development of education and technology, the construction of research public platforms has emerged as a critical initiative for many universities and top-tier public hospitals. The core and most fundamental function of a basic public platform is to aggregate large instruments and specific resources, providing open services for instrumental analysis and sample testing. Optimized management and high-quality, efficient services are essential for such platforms. This article elucidates the construction of a research public platform in West China Hospital, focusing on the adoption of hierarchical management and precise services. The core of the hierarchical management lies in building a multi-level service platform composed of routine support platforms, advanced technology platforms, and specially qualification platforms, while establishing a talent hierarchy that differentiates between core and routine positions. This structure is designed to accurately meet the diverse needs of users and enhance resource efficiency. By implementing user access control with differentiated permissions for internal and external users and a dynamic credit-based review system, the laboratory can ensure safe and efficient operations. The four service modes-instrument usage, in-lab experiments, sample testing, and collaborative projects-are precisely aligned with various research scenarios. Proactive engagement with grant-funded projects, customized services for research groups, and a multidimensional training system further strengthen the platform's support for major scientific research tasks. Through systematic management and service innovation, this model achieves efficient integration and sustainable development of platform resources, providing a valuable reference for the construction of public platforms in similar medical institutions.

Chinese scientists have been actively engaged in biotechnology research since the mid-20th century. However, biotechnology education, especially biomedical laboratory technology education, is relatively scarce in China. More and more cutting-edge equipment and techniques have been introduced into biomedical laboratories in China, but there is a lack of high-quality technicians to apply these advancements to scientific research. In addition, the traditional education and apprenticeship systems have been demonstrated little progress. To address this gap, West China Hospital of Sichuan University established a 2-year educational program for laboratory technology in 2006 based on the residency training program. The project integrates scientific methods into the research laboratory technician training in relevant disciplines, and has developed a systematic, scientific, and effective standardized training system to cultivate high-level and stable experimental technician team for the need of advanced laboratories, which has been demonstrated greatly improve the efficiency of biomedical researchers and laboratory facilities. In this article, we introduce the practical experience in establishment and development of a standardized training system for biomedical laboratory technicians to ensure the sustainable development of medical researches.
