IMM Director Rui-Ping Xiao, on the theme of "innovation drives transformation", introduced IMM’s ten-year development.

After the meeting, each LSI PI chatted respectively with 3-5 IMM PIs on research work to seek cooperation intentions. The office staff of the two institutes talked face-to-face in their respective working areas.
 
Director Xin-Hua Feng and LSI faculty also visited IMM’s large instrument platform, the editorial office of the New England Journal of Medicine, and Laboratory of Primates.
