Initial research programs will be led by groups from the Oxford departments of Engineering, Physics, Chemistry and Materials, with applications ranging from health informatics, tissue engineering and biomedical imaging techniques to environmental remediation, advanced materials and electronic devices.

研究院第一階段的研究項(xiàng)目聚焦醫(yī)療健康、組織工程、生物醫(yī)學(xué)成像技術(shù)、環(huán)境修復(fù)、先進(jìn)材料和電子設(shè)備等，由牛津大學(xué)工程系、物理系、化學(xué)系和材料系的團(tuán)隊(duì)主導(dǎo)。

A total of 12 scholars from Oxford have been chosen to lead projects at the center. The scholars will work in Suzhou for two months every year.

12位牛津大學(xué)學(xué)者被挑選來(lái)在該研究中心領(lǐng)導(dǎo)項(xiàng)目。這些學(xué)者每年將在蘇州進(jìn)行至少兩個(gè)月的監(jiān)督研究工作。

Oxford vice-chancellor Louise Richardson said that cooperation with China provided an exciting opportunity, and that she looked forward to more achievements in innovative and new areas.

牛津大學(xué)校副長(zhǎng)路易絲·理查森教授表示，此次與中國(guó)的合作提供了一個(gè)令人激動(dòng)的機(jī)會(huì)，她期待在創(chuàng)新及其他新領(lǐng)域取得更多成就。
