Metrological Challenges and Prospects in the Field of Life Sciences

The global outbreak of COVID-19 has brought healthcare and the life science industry into the spotlight, raising people's attention to disease prevention, treatment, research and development of biological drugs, in vitro diagnosis, and internet medicine. Metrology technology plays a critical role in supporting these fields. The study of metrology technology in life sciences is an essential component of serving public health and a solid foundation for promoting the development of the health and life sciences industry. This paper explores the development ideas of metrology science to support life sciences through literature research, case studies, and the analysis of the strategic reports of domestic and international metrology institutions. Based on this analysis, we propose some suggestions for developing biological metrology in China.
