The General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council promulgated the Opinions on the Implementation of a Sound and Uniform Judicial Expertise Management System in 2017. According to this document, we should conduct forensic identification of citizens with abnormal deaths by making full use of medical colleges and universities, scientific research institutes, medical institutions and other social resources. In December 2017, the Opinions on Strictly Enforcing Strict Supervision and Improving the Quality and Credibility of Forensic Appraisalswere issued by Ministry of Justice, which mentions that the development of the identification institution is supported by establishment of teaching, scientific research and appraisal in the universities and scientific research institutes. To respond to these national appeals, we sought to build the world first-class death-related medical group.

Professor Yiping HOU ，Professor Lin ZHANG (973 chief scientist), Professor Yijiu CHEN (State Department allowance), Professor Min LIU (forensic science expert in Ministry of Justice), Professor Zhenhua DENG (forensic science expert in Ministry of Justice) Professor Zeqing HU (forensic science experts in Ministry of Justice) and Professor Linchuan LIAO (Academic leaders in Sichuan Province) were invited as academic leaders. We plan to complete the updating, transformation and upgrading of the existing teaching and research platform within five years, and to create the forefront of the forensic science platform composed of forensic molecular genetics, forensic molecular pathology, behavioral and mental diseases, and functional metabolomics research. In 2021, we aim to build Forensic Science in Sichuan University into a world-class forensic research center and a national-level international standardized forensic identification center.
