At present, the ceremony of completion of Sino-Italy United Chinese Medicine Laboratory was held in Tianjin, at the same time, National Technology Department and Italian Health Department sign an agreement on the United Lab.
The setting up of the lab was of great importance, for it is the National Technology Department s support both on TEDA and on International Creative Garden of National biomedicine. The lab would provide both sides a stable platform to fully perform their advantages for conducting research and development. When the conditions become more perfect, a scientific research entity would be built up in TEDA.
The two parts make international cooperation to combine TCM theories with modern technology. Their aim is to promote the modernization, standardization and internationalization of TCM through development of new medicine via researches both in the lab and in the clinic.
