Relying on the research advantages of SIPPE, NKLPMG strives to strengthen cooperation and exchanges at home and abroad. It cooperates with international research institutions or universities and is mainly involved in the establishment of corresponding cooperation centres, such as the CAS-JIC Centre of Excellence for Plant and Microbial Science with John Innes Centre in the UK.
Centre of Excellence for Plant and Microbial Science (CEPAMS)
CEPAMS is a collaboration between the John Innes Centre and two institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology and the Institute of Plant Physiology and Ecology), which conducts collaborative research in areas such as the improvement of food crops and the production of high-value, beneficial products from plants and microbes.
NKLPMG has established cooperation with several research groups of JIC in plant secondary metabolism, plant nutrition regulation and plant-microbial symbiosis, and related research projects have been funded by CEPAMS. Through postdoctoral and postgraduate training, the two sides exchange and visit each other regularly to carry out substantive cooperation actively.
The establishment of CEPAMS will not only facilitate the development of biological science, but also create an excellent environment for personnel exchange and student training between CAS and JIC, which will further promote the scientific cooperation partnership between China and the UK and contribute to the global scientific and technological development.
