Attending the Symposium were Prof. Dr. Phan Tuan Nghia - Vice Rector of VNU HUS; Prof. Harvey Lodish - Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Assoc. Prof. Le Nguyet Minh, Assoc. Prof. Ban Kiwon, Assoc. Prof. Yang Sungchil, Assoc. Prof. Terrence Lau - City University of Hong Kong; Dr. Nguyen Xuan Hung - Vinmec Research Institute of Stem Cell and Genetic Technology as well as numerous local and international scientists.
The forum was served as an opportunity to share academic information and new achievements in molecular cell biology as well as to create opportunities for the expansion of research groups, and to promote communication and connection between scientists studying at universities and research institutes locally and abroad.
During his opening remarks, Prof. Dr. Phan Tuan Nghia - Vice Rector of VNU-HUS stressed that “Molecular Cell Biology (MCB) in brief is the study of cell at molecular level. Studying MCB enables to understand the structures and functions of the cell and mechanisms of the cell activities and development of diseases as well, and from this we can develop more efficient approaches to deal with diseases. . Molecular Cell Biology is a fundamental basis for the study of the life science, which makes this Symposium on MCB so important”.
On behalf of the Rector Board of VNU-HUS, Prof. Dr. Phan Tuan Nghia gave his sincere thanks to Prof. Harvey Lodish for his contributions more than 10 years ago to VNU-HUS. Prof. Harvey Lodish helped the Faculty of Biology (VNU-HUS) and its staff to connect with Tufts University scientists in Massachusetts, USA, helping to set up an international program in Biology.
During the Symposium, Prof. Harvey Lodish and the translator introduced the Book of Molecular of Cell Biology series to readers. MCB is a world famous book in this field, written by Prof. Harvey Lodish and other renowned scientists in the United States. The original MCB has been translated into 11 languages so far.
