PKUHSC Delegation Visited Stanford
PKUHSC (Peking University Health Science Center) delegation, headed by Prof. Zhan Qimin, Executive Vice President of Peking University and President of Peking University Health Science Center, visited Stanford on May 9, 2019.
Prof. Oi, director of SCPKU (Stanford Center at Peking University) hosted the event for the delegation joined by interested Stanford faculty and researchers.
SCPKU was founded in 2012 with a landmark building on PKU campus. Over 1000 programs and events have been convened at SCPKU, Stanford has had 78 projects in 40 different departments with some components involving research or training in China, and 3,187 different Chinese co-authors have collaborated on publications with Stanford authors.
SCPKU has fellows across campus, with the greatest number of faculty from the School of Medicine. SCPKU will expand Stanford’s role in global education and research and enable all faculty to do research in China.
The PKUHSC delegation presented an overview of PKU Health Science Center, which gave exposure to the Stanford participants for matching their own work with the resources that PKU offered.
A roundtable introduction/discussion followed Prof Oi’s talk between the members of the delegation and Stanford participants. Both sides were interested in exploring further partnership in global health, life science, public health and emergency medicine.
The delegation had a meeting with Dean of the School of Medicine, Lloyd Minor (5th from right); Mijiza Sanchez (4th from right), associate Dean, office of Medical Student Affairs.
