The Michigan Medicine-Peking University Health Science Center Joint Institute hosted an online conference on April 29 to exchange the latest development in cardiovascular research and bridge potential collaboration in the field. The Zoom-based conference was joined by more than 50 researchers.

　　In his opening remarks at the conference, Vice President Wang Jiadong of the PKUHSC reviewed the achievements of the Joint Institute in cardiovascular research and education, and encouraged even more exchange and collaboration on the platform. For his part, Prof. Joseph Kolars, Senior Associate Dean for Education and Global Initiatives at Michigan Medicine, echoed this call in his opening address.

　　The opening remarks were followed by presentations from both sides and a Q&A session, which extended mutual understanding and built—as the theme of the conference indicated—“a collaborative bridge to better health”.
