On March 12, the Joint Symposium on Brain Health, organized by The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and Oujiang Lab, was successfully held. The event focused on the theme of "Latest Research Findings and Applications in Brain Health," facilitating academic exchanges and promoting the translation and application of scientific achievements. Over 200 participants, including experts, scholars, clinicians, and students from Oujiang Lab, CUHK, and the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, attended the symposium.
Academician Song Weihong, Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences and Director of Oujiang Lab, attended the symposium and delivered an opening speech. He introduced Oujiang Lab’s development strategy and establishment process, while also reviewing the productive interactions between the lab and CUHK in recent years. He emphasized that this joint symposium marks a new starting point for strategic collaboration, enabling both sides to build consensus and shape the future. He expressed hope for continued cooperation in addressing key challenges in brain science, advancing basic and clinical research, and promoting the translation of scientific achievements.
