On 9 March 2012, an 18-member delegation led by Prof. Jack C.Y. Cheng, Pro-Vice-Chancellor of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) visited the Health Department of Guangdong Province (HDGP) and met with Dr. Geng Qing-Shan, Director-General of HDGP and other HDGP officials.

During the meeting with HDGP, Prof. Wan Chao gave a presentation on the overview of the School of Biomedical Sciences and our major collaborations with institutions of higher learning and research in Mainland China.
