\n“The formation of the U.S.-China Joint Center for Life Sciences was a landmark occasion for UNMC and its international collaborations. China is an essential partner for any institution that looks to establish itself internationally and we are thrilled to work so closely with a prestigious group such as the Chinese Academy of Science as we build relationships in that country. As such, it’s an honor for us to host this symposium.” — Don Leuenberger, vice chancellor of business and finance<\/B><\/p>\n
