“This will be a day always remembered in the history of STJU and also a day marked in the history of advanced medical equipment industry.” – President of STJU Lin Zhongqin

“This is different from any school-enterprise cooperation in the industry. The cooperation itself is an innovation that embodies the spirit of the times.” – UIH’s Chairman of the Board & Chief Executive Officer Xue Min

2 in 1

School and Enterprise Merge Together as One

Different from school-enterprise cooperation in the past which usually focused in only one single project, the STJU-UIH Institute is to merge the two bodies as one. STJU and UIH will build up a long term strategic cooperation mechanism. As a result, this cooperation will naturally have advantages as below: to attract and cultivate talents in the long run, to develop an innovation path that suits the long term development, to deeper the technical cooperation, to facilitate innovation application and upgrade, as well as to drive co-related innovation.

 

Deeper Collaboration

A Collaboration Among Industry, Education and Medicine

In terms of cultivating talents, the Institute is now inviting top talents from overseas to join in. At the same time, China’s first dedicated higher-education system of advanced medical imaging is on going. UIH will cooperate with SJTU to raise talents that will focus on innovation and advance researches. The Institute will become a talent pool of medical imaging experts and have influence all over the world.

In terms of research direction, the Institute will focus on cutting edge technology and innovative application in medical imaging industry. It will continuously deepen its technical research in medical imaging field. At the same time, the Institute will keep exploring its boundaries. Apart from it’s focus on medical imaging industry, the Institute will also cover related files, such as medical data, analysis of imaging big data, AI diagnosis, image navigation for minimally invasive treatments and radiation therapy, as well as the research of imaging clinical application research.

As for clinical application, the Institute will deepen its cooperation with SJTU’s affiliated hospitals and provide customized technical solutions to all kinds of clinical needs, thus boosting the technical and application innovation that targets clinical-end.

Another topic is about actually using these innovation results in the medical industry. The IPR generated by the Institute will directly be used in UIH, which will accelerate the process of realizing the commercial value and social value of these innovations in the medical industry, accelerate the progress of life science and the upgrade of advanced medical equipment industry.

 

Greater Investment

An Unprecedented Investment

In the next five years, UIH will invest 150 million RMB to the Institute for attracting talents and for allocating equipment. SJTU will invest 80 million RMB and 10,000 m² in it’s new campus in Zhangjiang to build labs and offices. Besides, SJTU will also invest 15 million RMB for the initial talents acquisition and team construction

President of STJU Lin Zhongqin

Lin Zhongqin, President of STJU said, “UIH will be our only partner in the field of medical imaging. We together will support the development of advanced medical equipment industry and build up the transformation platform. At the same time, we will cultivate world-class talents and drive the rise of domestic medical imaging company according to national strategy and through Institutional innovation.”

UIH’s Chairman of the Board & Chief Executive Officer Xue Min

Xue Min, UIH’s Chairman of the Board & Chief Executive Officer said, “The Institute built together by SJTU and UIH is a mix of precise scientific research, acute business insight and pass for startup. I believe by holding hands, we will achieve many breakthroughs in medical imaging and related fields. We will also cultivate world-class talents and develop technological innovation for the biomedical research of China, the development of advanced medical industry and the rise of Shanghai as a science and innovation center.”
