Cross-Strait Symposium on Biomedical Sciences cum SBS Postgraduate Research Day 2016

With the concerted efforts of the Organizing Committee of the SBS Postgraduate Research Day 2016, the SBS Postgraduate Student Association (PSA) and the Graduate Education Office, the Cross-Strait Symposium on Biomedical Sciences cum SBS Postgraduate Research Day 2016 was successfully held on 10 – 11 November 2016.

This annual flagship event has been serving as an excellent platform for our postgraduate students to share their achievements with their peers and supervisors since the establishment of the School seven years ago.

Following the previous exchange activities held in June 2014 and August 2016, three delegation teams from Kunming Institute of Zoology (KIZ), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Taiwan's National Tsing Hua University (NTHU), Taiwan and Peking University (PKU), China with a total of 26 postgraduate students and 7 professors were invited to take part in the poster and oral presentations this year. More than 200 participants including our postgraduate students, teaching and research staff members, and our local and overseas guests joined the event this year. The authors of the best 16 posters were invited to give an oral presentation on their projects on the second day to compete for various prizes.

Congratulations go to the following prize winners for their wonderful presentations and excellent research work:
