The Han Institute was created to honor Professor Ji-Sheng Han and his outstanding work on the study of mechanisms of pain and acupuncture at his laboratory at the Beijing Medical University (Peking University of Health and Science), Beijing, China. Furthermore, the Institute highlights the work of modern Chinese scientists at various Chinese medical universities who have conducted research on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acupuncture. Through their research, the neuro-biological equivalents of such hypothetical constructs as Qi and meridians in TCM have been confirmed.
