In the first symposium of the SCU’s “Project Base for Innovative Tissue Regeneration Biomaterials Science and Engineering”, Prof. Antonios G. Mikos, academician of National Academy of Engineering andInstituteofMedicine, a top-notch researcher of the “111 Project” and professor ofRiceUniversity, was invited to deliver lectures at SCU from February 28th to March 6th.Prof. Mikos offered courses of 12 credit hours under the theme of “tissue engineering basis and application”, which won great appraise from both teachers and students in SCU. Academician Wei Yuquan, vice-president of SCU and Prof. Yan Shijing, vice-president of SCU, met with Prof. Mikos separately and discussed specific matters regarding cooperation in the future.

The symposium marks the official launching of “Project Base for Innovative Tissue Regeneration Biomaterials Science and Engineering”.
