Background Current location: Home >> INFECTION AND IMMUNITY >> Background
The Joint symposium between SJTU- SM and HUJI-Med
Date:2021-05-25


Background Introduction


The joint Ph.D. degree (JPD) program between Shanghai Jiaotong Unversity School of Medicine and Hebrew University of Jerusalem Faculty of Medicine was officially launched in 2018, which has greatly promoted the internationalization of training programs for graduate students and facilitated the collaborations between two institutions. After three years’ advancement, certain achievements have been realized, including the recruitment of more international students into the programs as well as deep cooperations and faculty exchanges between two institutions. During COVID-19 pandemic, scientists from two universities have actively engaged in the investigations on pathogenic mechanism and the explorations of preventive strategies for disease control. This symposium will focus on the topics of “infection and immunity” and go through the recent progresses made by the two institutions. Eight principle investigators and 6 graduate students from two universities will share their latest researches, which will in turn strengthen future collaboration between SJTU-SM and HUJI-MED.
