The meeting was divided into several breakout sessions during which investigators from both institutions met together to share among themselves their research interests and latest research findings, and to explore the possibility for further collaboration in specific topics of mutual interests. Specifically, Prof. Chan Wai-Yee, our School Director, together with Prof. Fok Tai-Fai, Pro-Vice-Chancellor of CUHK, met with Prof. Bruce Robinson, whereas our School members including Prof. Andrew Chan, Prof. Ke Ya, Prof. Eugene Ponomarev, Prof. John Rudd, Prof. Helen Wise, and Prof. Yung Wing-Ho were arranged to meet with Prof. MacDonald Christie of the Sydney Medical School.
Participation in this joint scientific meeting has laid down a good foundation for establishing academic collaborations between our School and the Sydney Medical School, and for extending our scholarly connections to the academia in Australia.
