The Kunming Institute of Zoology (KIZ), one of the 20 biological institutes under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), is also one of China's first class zoological research institutes. The Institute boasts not only access to the unique and diversified animal resources of the Eastern Himalayas but also a wide variety of the species from across Southeast Asia, the southern parts of Yunnan province being part of the Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot. KIZ focuses on cutting edge life science research, with research groups including systematic zoology, conservation biology, cytology, molecular biology, genome evolution, reproductive and developmental biology, neurobiology, immunological biology on important virus disease, zoological toxicology and primate biology. The Kunming Institute of Zoology was established in April, 1959, originally as the Insect Institute, Lac Division. In 1963, it became the Southwest Institute of Zoology, CAS and in 1970 it was renamed the Yunnan Institute of Zoology, having been placed under the jurisdiction of Yunnan Province. It was not until 1978 when it was returned to the Chinese Academy of Sciences that it was named the Kunming Institute of Zoology, CAS.
