Following the previous visits by the University of Southampton, United Kingdom, Prof. Richard Oreffo, Chair of Musculoskeletal Science and Co-founder of the Centre for Human Development, Stem Cells and Regeneration, Faculty of Medicine, Southampton University visited School of Biomedical Sciences from 14 to 17 September 2014.

Prof. Oreffo was warmly received by Prof. Kenneth K.H. Lee, Managing Director of Core Laboratories and Chief of Stem Cell and Regeneration Program of our School. During the visit, in-depth discussions on possible exchange activities and collaborations among junior faculty members from both parties were carried out.

Through continuous communications and exchanges in the past few years, a solid foundation has been built up between both institutions. It is our hope that more concrete and in-depth collaborations will be established in the near future.
