From June to July, nine students from University College London (UCL) visited the International College of Pharmaceutical Innovation (ICPI) at Soochow University for a series of exchange activities.
During their visit, the UCL students toured the Future Campus, gained hands-on experience with state-of-the-art experimental facilities, and learned about the integrated "industry-university-research-medicine" educational model. Faculty members hosted the visiting students over lunch, engaging in in-depth discussions on professional development, industry frontiers, and academic planning. Ijeoma F. Uchegbu, a leading UCL scholar and current Master of Wolfson College, University of Cambridge, delivered a lecture at the "Le Yao Forum," sharing cutting-edge advances in nanomedicine. Students from both universities participated in the "Ancient City Renewal: Gusu · Young in Action" cultural experience, conducted joint research in laboratories, and visited BioBAY, Suzhou's biomedical industry park.
This summer, five ICPI undergraduates also traveled to UCL for research placements. Exchanges between young students of the two universities continued to inject new vitality into international cooperation in pharmaceutical education.
