COLLABORATION / ABOUT
CUHK-Monash University Alliance
​
The CUHK-Monash Alliance was established in 2017 as a transnational integrated collaboration to co-develop and co-invest in thematic areas of shared excellence in medical education and research. The synergistic collaborations are expected to lead to the development of high impact research programs and innovative medical education platforms.
Formed between the two Medical Faculties, the Alliance aims to generate collaborative research enterprises that will have long-term, significant impact on biomedical, health research and education for both institutions. Initially, the research initiatives will be focused on Translational Medicine:
• Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine
• Innovative Medical Devices
Specifically, the CUHK Institute for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (iTERM) will partner with Monash’s Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute (ARMI) in the area of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine, and the CUHK Chow Yuk Ho Technology Centre for Innovative Medicine will partner with Monash’s Institute of Medical Engineering (MIME) to focus on Medical Engineering.
MOU
On 17 May 2017, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed regarding the exchange of PhD students between our two Faculties of Medicine, with the aim of fostering academic research.
