The meeting was jointly organized with the participation of the Department of life sciences and medicine of the University of science and technology of China and the Medical College of Zhejiang University. The meeting continued to use the combination of online and offline methods, bringing together nearly 200 teachers and students from different universities at home and abroad.
Xin-hua Feng, the director of LSI, delivered an opening speech. Feng thanked all the cooperation units and speakers of the conference and extended a warm welcome to all participants. He said, this is the third time that we have cooperated with universities and research institutes at home and abroad to hold a Doctoral Forum. Although this meeting can only be held online and offline due to the epidemic, we are glad that we have persevered and made the international workshop exploring the frontier of life and health successful.
Feng pointed out that the common research fields and interests are the basis for our academic communications and cooperation with overseas universities. It is based on this cooperation that we have established a doctoral joint training program with the Gordon Institute of Cambridge University. We hope to promote more cooperation and communications in the future, and this workshop we do is a good start!
