Shanghai Immune Therapy Institute

Recently, Professor Lai Guan Ng (Huang Laiyuan), a senior researcher at the Shanghai Immune Therapy Institute, and Dr. Sapna Devi from the Duherty Institute of the University of Melbourne, Australia, jointly conducted a project "Analyzing the Neural Modulation Mechanism of the Tumor Immune Ecosystem" (De Finin, Neular, Regula, Tiang, Bent Tumuir, Imun Ekosistem) and successfully won the latest round of innovation funding from the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (EMK).The four-year grant program aims to support research teams from both countries in cutting-edge research in the field of medicine.

The complexity and diversity of the tumor immune ecosystem make its neuromodulation mechanism an important topic in current medical research. This project provides new ideas and methods for tumor treatment, which not only helps to improve the efficacy and safety of tumor treatment, but is also expected to make important contributions to the development of medical science.

National Health and Medical Research Council, Australia

The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) is the primary agency responsible for developing and implementing policies and programs related to health and medical research in Australia. As an authoritative organization at the federal level, NHMRC not only supports scientific research but also works to improve public health and healthcare.

NHMRC's mission is to improve the health of Australians through research support and knowledge transfer. Their core responsibilities include providing financial support to research projects, developing guidelines for practice in the field of medicine and public health, and promoting high standards of ethics and research conduct. In recent years, NHMRC has funded more than $800 million annually in research projects, supporting thousands of research projects. The research it funds covers a wide range of disciplines, such as disease prevention, diagnostic techniques, therapeutic methods, biomedical research, and health services and policies, truly achieving a comprehensive impact on society.

The Doherty Institute

The Duherty Institute, known as the Peter Duherty Institute for Infection and Immunology, is one of the leading research institutions in infectious diseases and immunology in Australia and around the world. Named by Professor Peter Duherty, winner of the 1996 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, the institute is affiliated with the University of Melbourne and is dedicated to the research, prevention and treatment of infectious diseases.

With around 700 scientists, researchers and medical professionals, the Duherty Institute is an important research center in the Asia-Pacific region in the field of infection and immunity. The Institute maintains in-depth cooperation with many top scientific research institutions and public health organizations around the world, and has established an extensive international cooperation network, providing key support for addressing global health challenges. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Duherty Institute's scientific team was the first to successfully isolate and study the coronavirus, an achievement that laid the foundation for the development of vaccines and treatments.
