cultivation.
Vice President Wang Kunjie warmly welcomed Professor
McCormick and, after presenting the history, disciplinary strengths, and recent
developments of West China Hospital and West China School of Medicine,

joint research achievements and frequent exchanges, as well as the successful

Liverpool, and to explore the possibility of establishing joint research
centers.
