Oct 26, 2017
Peking University, Oct. 14, 2017: On October 10, 2017, Professor Edward I. Moser, the recipient of  2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, visited Peking University. The visit is a part of the collaborative preparatory work  for “multimodal cross-scale biomedical imaging national major technology infrastructure” with International Advisory Committee (IAC).

Professor Tian Gang, vice president of PKU met Professor Moser and gave a brief introduction to Peking University’s pioneering development in multimodal cross-scale biomedical imaging facilities. Professor Moser expressed willingness to support the construction of such large facilities. At the same time, he gave a high commendation on Peking University’s recent successful development of the miniature two photon microscope. This system is a crucial component of the multimodal cross-scale biomedical imaging facility. Professor Moser believes that it will become a revolutionary tool for neuroscience research, and will be particularly beneficial to his research on the brain’s spacial navigation for nervous system. Academician Cheng Heping from the Institute of Molecular Medicine, Xia Hongwei director of the Office of International Relations, Lei Ming assistant director of Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, all attended the meeting.
