A global pandemic changed the venue, but couldn’t stop Michigan Medicine and Peking University Health Science Center (PKUHSC) from celebrating their longstanding partnership.
Almost 200 faculty and leaders from both the institutions gathered online recently for a webinar marking the 10-year anniversary of their unique collaboration. Joining in the celebration were U-M President Mark Schlissel, National Academy of Medicine president Victor Dzau, and National Institutes of Health Fogarty Center director Roger Glass.
“I believe our most important collaborations in biomedical research going forward will be with China,” Glass said. “This (Joint Institute) has demonstrated the necessary transparency, synergy, and data sharing that are vital to success but also difficult on an international level. You’ve done it well and deserve congratulations.”
