Li Jiajun fully affirmed the importance of Tianjin University and Tianjin Medical University's "School of Medical Science and Engineering" ****built on the overall development pattern of the school, and hoped that in the traditional cooperation between the two sides on the basis of the strengths of strengthening communication, boldly open up, the courage to explore, and dare to try, and strive to come out of a "medical traction, engineering, and the development of the medical field". "medical traction, engineering support, transformation and innovation, clinical demonstration" of the characteristics of the road of medical development. He emphasized that, with the rigorous and pragmatic style of Tianda people, we should grasp the comprehensive deepening of the strategic cooperation agreement with Tianjin Medical University to promote and implement, and accelerate the construction of the "School of Medical Science and Engineering" **** work.
Yao Zhi said, the two schools to start a comprehensive strategic cooperation on the construction of world-class disciplines of Tianjin Medical University is crucial to the two sides to jointly establish the College as an opportunity to realize the complementary advantages of Tianjin Medical University and Tianjin University as soon as possible and the integration of disciplines, the needs and problems arising from clinical practice through the combination of medical and engineering to explore and solve the problem, adhere to the clinical orientation, and open up the potential for the field of intelligent medicine, etc., and work together to create a world-class research direction. The two universities are working together to create a world-class special zone for training high-end medical science and technology talents and a base for medical research and innovation.
Ming Dong, director of the Institute of Medical Engineering and Translational Medicine at Tianjin University and professor responsible for the biomedical engineering discipline, said that the biomedical engineering professions of the two schools have the same roots and close cooperation, and the new college is expected to achieve the integration and optimization of the existing resources to achieve the non-linear incremental effect of 1+1>2. Both sides in the discipline construction, scientific research, personnel training, international exchanges and other all-round multi-level cooperation produced by the positive chemical reaction, will help in Tianjin to create a leading international biomedical engineering disciplines, to realize the two sides hand in hand **** win.
It is reported that the history of cooperation between Tianjin University and Tianjin Medical University can be traced back to 1978, when Tianjin University President Li Shusen and Tianjin Medical College (predecessor of Tianjin Medical University) Dean of Zhu Xian in the world's forefront of science and technology on the dynamics of the development of the *** knowledge to the sensitivity of scientists and educators decisively decided to jointly prepare for the construction of the earliest biomedical engineering program in China. This makes Tianjin University become one of the first four universities to establish the program, opening up the first medical engineering joint venture, for the future development of related professions in the two schools laid a good foundation.
For more than 30 years, the cooperation between the two universities has never stopped. 1980, the first enrollment of the biomedical engineering program of Tianjin University adopted a joint enrollment with Tianjin Medical College (10 students from each school), and the mode of cooperative training. In 1986, Tianjin Medical College established its own biomedical engineering program, with most of its initial faculty members coming from the first two graduates of the joint program. 2000, TMU and TMU were jointly awarded the Tianjin Key Discipline and established a postdoctoral station. 2009, TMU and TMU jointly established a postdoctoral station in Tianjin. In 2009, the two sides also jointly established the "Tianjin Neuroengineering Research Center", focusing on the emerging field of brain-computer interaction and neuroengineering cutting-edge research, forming the two schools **** the same direction of professional development characteristics.
