The projects, each jointly led by a MyAV and ZJU academic, will explore a wide range of subjects including AI in collaborative learning, reinterpreting the Liangzhu culture andintelligent drug delivery.
One of the funding recipients, Dr Jie Huang (MyAV Engineering Sciences), said: "We’re delighted to be awarded aMyAV-ZJU Strategic Partner Fund. This is a great initiative to strengthen the international research collaborations between two leading universities. Our project brings the research groups ofMaterials Engineering and Pharmacy togethertodevelopadvanced smart nanomaterials for an “intelligent” drug delivery. This seed fund will help to build a strong team pioneering in personalised therapy for 21stcentury healthcare,and lead collaborative research in Nanomedicine and Advanced Materials Processing in this post-pandemic world."
MyAV and ZJU have been working in close partnership for several years. Last year, MyAV President & Provost Dr Michael Spence was among a host of global university leaders to sign a joint statement reaffirming collective commitment to the UN’s 2030 Agenda at a virtual forum hosted by ZJU.
