Henan-Macquarie University joint center for Biomedical Innovation utilizes the superior resources aiming to build the first-class mult-cross-disciplines platform of innovation. JCBI tries to make people own better health conditions and life insurances by taking advantage of advanced bio-medicine and nano-technology depending on which we can create novel solutions for the diagnose of cancer and nerve degeneration problem.

JCBI own two resources and research programs shared and unified managed branched center (Henan University center and Macquarie University center). The inclination of Henan University is building a lab as the branched center based on accurate early-detection of diseases and the theme of treatment. (The funding, labs and research fellows should be provided by Henan University). Macquarie University will use the current superior programs combining the labs of Prof. Roger Chung, Prof. Helen Rizos and Prof. Shi Bingyang to build the branched center aiming to detect the early-stage biomarker of cancer and bio-degeneration diseases (Macquarie University will provide research themes, PhD scholarship and intelligent support for cultivation of post-graduates).

Two branched centers will be operated in a unique integrative mode and strategy cooperate in a long-term on the research programs, joint scientific programs applications, undergraduates/master students/Phd cultivations. The purpose of all is to keep the leading position of JCBI on cancer and bio-degeneration diseases in the world.
