In August 2025, a PhD Student Delegation from the School of Life Sciences and Technology, Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine, embarked on a visit to Singapore for academic exchange activities at the National University of Singapore (NUS). Through various forms such as visiting cutting-edge laboratories, participating in academic seminars, and attending thematic reports, the delegation has effectively broadened the doctoral students' international academic horizons and built an important bridge for in-depth cooperation between the two universities in the field of life sciences. Ranked 8th globally in the 2025 QS World University Rankings, NUS is a world-renowned comprehensive research university that has always adhered to the mission of Leading Globally, Innovating through Knowledge. The delegation focused on visiting multiple laboratories and research institutions of NUS in the field of life sciences, immersing themselves in its strong scientific research atmosphere and academic environment. Through on-site inspections and campus visits, the members gained an in-depth understanding of NUS's advanced experience in the construction of scientific research infrastructure, discipline development planning, and interdisciplinary cooperation management mechanisms. Luan Jing, a PhD student of the delegation , shared during the exchange: NUS not only has advanced scientific research platforms, but its interdisciplinary collaboration model is particularly worthy of our learning. During the visit, PhD students from our school and researchers from NUS conducted enthusiastic discussions on topics such as experimental design, key technological breakthroughs, and application prospects of research results, which effectively inspired the research ideas of both parties and provided more possibilities for future scientific exploration. This summer academic exchange has successfully helped phD students build profound insights into the trends of international scientific research frontiers and potential cooperation opportunities. It is believed that the seeds of cooperation sown during this visit will thrive in the future, injecting lasting vitality into the collaborative innovation between the two universities in the field of life sciences and beyond.
