During the visit, the SJTU delegation attended the launching ceremony of the Australian Research Council (ARC) Innovative Bioengineering Training Center and had in-depth communications with experts in the fields of information technology, medical imaging, nanotechnology, regenerative medicine, and metabolic data.
On June 1, the launching ceremony of the Australian Research Council (ARC) Innovative Bioengineering Training Centre was held at The University of Sydney. The Center aims to cultivate a new generation of innovative talents to meet the challenges in the biomedical engineering industry. Several distinguished biomedical researchers, clinical workers, and industrial partners attended the ceremony and congratulated the establishment of the training center. Prof. Jiang Xinquan from Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital was invited to give a speech on “Oral and Maxillofacial Multidisciplinary Collaboration and Translational Research” at the launching ceremony, in which he reviewed the history of cooperation between the two universities, and showed the major achievements they had made in scientific cooperation, clinical translation, and student exchange program. Jiang also expressed his expectation to actively promote the development of Shanghai-Sydney Joint Research Alliance Joint Bioengineering and Regenerative Medicine Lab through further deepening cooperation.
During the three-day visit, David Feng Dagan, Academician of The University of Sydney led the SJTU delegation to visit the campus, Charles Perkins Center, School of Engineering and Information Technology and its Multimedia Laboratory and Visual Telemedicine Laboratory, and introduced to the delegation in detail the relevant research of the School of Engineering and Information Technology in the field of biomedical and multimedia information technology research.
This visit will effectively expand the academic exchange between China and Australia, strengthen the cooperation between the two universities, enhance the interdisciplinary development of clinical medicine and engineering technology, and promote the development of translational medicine and its transformation.
