What is RIF? The full term is Recurrent Implantation Failure (RIF), which refers to the failure to achieve a successful pregnancy after multiple embryo transfers. It is a major challenge in the field of assisted reproductive health today. Due to the diversity and complexity of its causes, diagnosing the etiology of RIF has long been likened to "finding a needle in a haystack" internationally.

However, not long ago, Sun Ying, a 24-level master's student from BTBU's School of Food and Health, participated in a research study titled "A 3D in vitro model for studying human implantation and implantation failure," which was published in the world's top academic journal, Cell! This research brings a glimmer of hope for solving the RIF problem.

Within the team, Sun Ying, a student from our university's School of Food and Health, was responsible for preparing paraffin sections and performing microscopic imaging analysis. Upon learning that the paper was accepted by Cell, Sun Ying's emotions went through a rollercoaster from shock to excitement and then to gradual calm. After completely calming down, she felt a great sense of responsibility. In her words: "This is a new starting point." During her postgraduate studies at Beijing Technology and Business University, besides having access to ample experimental equipment, cutting-edge academic sharing, full guidance from supervisors, and an inclusive academic atmosphere, the unique "Academician Leadership + Team Support" training model of the university's School of Food and Health helps each student realize their full potential.

Cell, as a top-tier academic journal with a comprehensive impact factor of 42.5, publishing a paper signifies that the research content has received top international recognition for its originality, rigor, and impact. Our student's authorship is a significant milestone in their individual academic career and also marks the university's entry into the international arena in the interdisciplinary field of food science, greatly enhancing the discipline's global academic reputation. It stands as another crucial research achievement on the university's journey towards "Double First-Class" construction.

The Agricultural Science discipline, primarily based on Food Science and Engineering, has entered the top 1.96‱ of the ESI global rankings. Behind this disciplinary development lies the hard work and dedication of generations of food scientists at Beijing Technology and Business University.

In the future, our university's Food Science and Engineering discipline will deepen its interdisciplinary research from traditional food science to the field of life and health, continuously advancing with the times, integrating artificial intelligence technology to achieve dynamic and personalized responses to nutritional health. Ultimately, it aims to build a theoretical and technological system supporting research, manufacturing, and health management, transforming laboratory scientific discoveries into substantive forces supporting national health and industrial upgrading, contributing to the "Double First-Class" discipline development, and continuing to advance towards the goal of building a high-level research university!
