Prof. Andrew M. Chan, Director of SBS and Dr. Marieke Hoeve first delivered opening remarks in the opening ceremony. A total of 14 research postgraduate students from UoE and SBS presented their research studies and insights. During the visit, the visitors were also guided to tour the Core laboratories at the School. A meeting with Principal Investigators of SBS and the visitors were also held to enhance mutual understanding of research projects.
