Introduction:
   Hunan Normal University, founded in 1938, is located in Changsha, a famous    city with a long history and brilliant culture. As an institution of higher    education with a complete range of disciplines with various outstanding    professionals and talents gathering in the natural picturesque    surroundings, it has become a national "211-Project" school, one    of the country's 100 key universities enjoying priority in obtaining    national funds.
   Key Laboratory of Chemical Biology & Traditional Chinese Medicine    Research (Ministry of Education of China) started its construction in 2003    and its official operation in 2006. In the present, there are 52    researchers including one member of the Chinese Academy of Science and 31    professors. Amongst them, 32 young and middle-aged teachers have doctoral    degrees and 18 of them have experiences of studying abroad. The academic    committee of the laboratory consists of 15 professors and Prof. Hongyuan    Chen of Nanjing University, a member of the Chinese Academy of Science, is    the committee director. Prof. Qingji Xie is the laboratory director.
