About the Symposia

The Henry Fok Ying Tung SYSU-UBC Medical Research Symposia is a series of three research symposia held collaboratively between Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, China, and UBC. The series aims to advance medical research by bringing together leading researchers in three areas: neuroscience, cancer, and infectious diseases and immunology. The symposium series has been funded by the generous donation of UBC alumnus Ian Fok, who has also committed funds to promote collaborative research and student exchanges between the two institutions. The UBC Faculty of Medicine is hosting the second symposium, on Cancer, on May 7 and 8 at the Blusson Spinal Cord Centre at VGH.
