Anhui Medical University (AMU) is one of the oldest educational institutions in Hefei, Anhui province, which is located in the east of central China and honoured as "the city with State Innovation of Science and Technology". There are more than 17,000 students studying in AMU and the researchers from this university have an international reputation in areas including dermatology genetics, epidemiology and pharmacology.

A number of leading professors from AMU visited Menzies recently to experience first-hand the facilities we offer and to meet with a number of our senior researchers and share knowledge. The group attended  English language classes at the University of Tasmania while they were visiting and took time out to visit some of Tasmania's top tourist attractions.

Prof Sen Yang, Director of the Institute of Dermatology, Prof Dongqing Ye, Epidemiology, Director of Strategic Development Department, Prof Fengli Xiao, Dermatology Professor and Vice Director of Teaching Affairs Department, Prof Qiang Wu, Pathology Professor and Dean of International Education School, Prof Cheng Huang, Associate Professor of Pharmacy, and  Ms Yan Xu, English Language Lecturer, arrived in mid-July and stayed until August/late-September.

Earlier this year Professor Alison Venn, Acting Director of Menzies, Professor Peter Frappell, Dean of Graduate Research, UTAS and Associate Professor Changhai Ding visited AMU.  A scholarship program was then set up between Menzies and AMU to enable ten AMU postgraduate students to come to Tasmania and undertake their PhD studies. The scholarship program will commence later this year.
