2019 International Forum of Pain Medicine held at SUSTech
From November 22 to 24, Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) hosted the 2019 International Forum of Pain Medicine (Forum) in conjunction with a number of top pain physician, nursing and anesthetist societies sponsoring the Forum. The Forum also incorporated several pain medicine forums across southern China, with more than 500 experts, scholars and industry representatives attending from across China and the world. The morning of the 23rd saw the opening ceremony of the Forum. SUSTech Vice President Lu Chun welcomed all the scholars to SUSTech and anticipated a successful meeting. He spoke about the development of SUSTech and the School of Medicine, pointing out that the simultaneous development of medical and pedagogic resources is important for the city of Shenzhen. SUSTech is committed to the construction of medical disciplines within its “research, innovation and entrepreneurship” philo...

Students thrive in SUSTech-KCL biomedical science exchange program
On August 9, 2019, fifteen students from Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) successfully defended their research projects at King’s College of London (KCL) as part of the SUSTech-KCL summer exchange program and received their certification of completion with high marks.This is the first overseas exchange program for biomedical sciences undergraduate students from SUSTech Medical School. It gives opportunities for students to study and do research in an internationally renowned university for life sciences and medicine. The SUSTech School of Medicine selected 15 top students from biomedical sciences major to partake in the exchange, along with faculty members.Professor Richard Trembath, Executive Dean of the Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine at KCL, welcomed all the SUSTech representatives and praised the students’ accomplishments. SUSTech Professor Zhang Jian thanked KCL for excellent program prepa...

Lung cancer indicators improve under SUSTech research
The role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in tumors is becoming increasingly apparent. Recently, circHIPK3, one circular RNA of HIPK3 gene has been found to play an important role in tumor growth and progression, but its role in lung cancer has not been elucidated.Late in June, a research group co-chaired by Associate Professor Chen Guoan of the School of Medicine at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) published an article in international journal Autophagy (IF 11.1) entitled “Circular RNAcircHIPK3modulates autophagy viaMIR124-3p-STAT3-PRKAA/AMPKα signaling in STK11 mutant lung cancer.” The paper sought to reveal the role of circHIPK3 in lung cancer and the new mechanism of regulating the autophagic pathway.CircRNAs are covalently-closed, single-stranded transcripts derived from pre-mRNAs. Discovered in the 1970s, they were then regarded as a rare product arising from mRNA splicing errors. Their ab...
