On November 8, 2021, at the invitation of the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology, School of Life Sciences at Nanjing Normal University, Dr. Shi from the School of Biomedical Science and Engineering at South China University of Technology delivered an academic lecture entitled Cell Surface Engineering Techniques Based on Molecular Self-Assembly. The lecture garnered significant attention from faculty and students in relevant fields.
On January 16, 2020, Prof. Tingjian Chen from the School of Biological Science and Engineering at South China University of Technology, accompanied by his research group, visited our lab. This visit facilitated a comprehensive dialogue centered on areas of mutual interest between both groups. It was collectively agreed that the technical capabilities of our laboratories were complementarily aligned, fostering a collaborative synergy for impactful research endeavors. Preliminary discussions established cooperative research trajectories, instituted an efficient communication framework, and initiated our collaborative work.
