This is the first time that representative of Saitama University visited our School. The guest was warmly welcomed by Prof. Chan Wai-yee, Director of our School and Prof. John A. Rudd, Managing Director of our School’s Animal Holding Core. After a short meeting, Prof. Sakata was guided to tour the Core Laboratories and the animal holding facilities at Lo Kwee-Seong Integrated Biomedical Sciences Building.

Following the visit, both parties have initiated the process of developing a collaborative agreement in the hope of facilitating more academic collaborations as well as exchange of research staff and students between the two institutions in the future.
