On May 20, the Department of Scientific Research, in collaboration with the Department of Clinical Research and the Department of Graduate Education and Training, hosted a conference titled "Sino-Russian Medical Exchange and Mutual Learning, Clinical Translation for a New Chapter." The event specially invited Professor TULUPOV ANDREY, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, to deliver an academic report. Attendees included President Qin Yanguo, Vice President Yang Wei, Director of the Department of Scientific Research Qu Wenrui, Director of the Department of Clinical Research Sun Pingli, Director of the Department of Graduate Education and Training Chen Ye, and representatives from the Northeast Asia Talent Innovation and Cooperation Center, among others. The conference was presided over by Vice President Yang Wei.
This meeting not only strengthened the close ties between the Chinese and Russian medical communities but also served as a concrete practice of the "Belt and Road" initiative in the healthcare sector. Through transnational collaboration, both sides will jointly explore and address medical challenges, contributing actively to global health efforts and highlighting our hospital’s significant role and responsibility in international health cooperation.
President Qin Yanguo extended a warm welcome and heartfelt gratitude to Academician Tulupov Andrey for his visit, emphasizing that the current strong relations between China and Russia present new opportunities for collaboration in the field of health. Given the similar geographical locations and climate conditions between Changchun and Siberia, President Qin pointed out that there is broad potential for cooperation in areas such as proactive health and addressing aging populations. With support from all parties, this exchange will promote the output of scientific research achievements and contribute to the cause of global health. He expressed his expectation for deepened collaboration in the future.
Professor TULUPOV ANDREY provided a detailed introduction to research areas such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic resonance angiography, magnetic resonance myelography, and functional magnetic resonance imaging, as well as an overview of the relevant situation at the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Director Qu Wenrui, while introducing the hospital, stated that our institution has always been committed to international exchange and cooperation, continuously enhancing its medical standards and research capabilities. In the future, the hospital will further strengthen collaboration with internationally advanced medical institutions to jointly promote innovation and development in the field of medicine.
During the meeting, both sides engaged in in-depth discussions on relevant areas of cooperation. As a hospital rich in clinical resources, we remain committed to enhancing medical standards and fostering innovation in scientific research. Given the high incidence of stroke in this region, exploring the application of high-field-strength MRI technology in the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of stroke is of significant importance. This collaboration not only lays the foundation for future in-depth exchanges and technological innovation between the two parties but also represents a significant step forward in advancing the cause of public health.
During the meeting, an appointment ceremony was held, in which TULUPOV ANDREY was appointed as a Visiting Professor of the International Cooperation Joint Laboratory for Proactive Aging and Bionic Health.
Following the meeting, the attendees visited the Department of Nuclear Medicine and the Department of Radiology at our hospital, and highly commended the high-quality medical service environment and advanced medical equipment.
The successful convening of this exchange meeting has not only laid a solid foundation for medical research collaboration between China and Russia but also marked a significant step for The Second Norman Bethune Hospital of Jilin University in the fields of international cooperation and technological innovation. Against the backdrop of increasingly close China-Russia relations, the hospital will achieve leapfrog development in areas such as the health industry and technological innovation by strengthening international collaboration and introducing advanced technologies and ideas, thereby making active contributions to regional economic prosperity and the well-being of people's health.
