During the assessment meeting, members of the Key Laboratory presented their research work and the up-to-date development of this joint establishment to the expert team, followed by a tour to the research facilities of the Key Laboratory. The assessment was successful with positive feedback, and official operation approval was finally granted by the MOE.
The MOE's operation approval fully recognized the efforts made by the Key Laboratory members from both institutions since its establishment in 2007. It also laid down a solid foundation for undertaking greater and ambitious collaborations in regenerative medicine between the two parties.
