SIB creates new joint center in genomics with Fujian University.

Professor Ray Ming (plant biology) will direct the new joint center in genomics and biotechnology – the center is a collaboration between Integrative Biology and Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University. With an initial investment of $30 million US, the new center promises to open new collaborations between the two institutions and create new opportunities for student exchanges. Professor Feng Sheng Hu, head of plant biology, was instrumental in negotiating the creation of the new center, which will be open for business in the next two months.
