25 Sep 2009
The first three students from the medical faculty of Zhongshan Hospital Fudan University in Shanghai graduated from Erasmus University Rotterdam’s Erasmus MC as Masters of Science in Clinical Epidemiology.
The three – Qian Gu, Ningping Zhang and Yuanzhi Yuan – are the first three graduates from Fudan’s medical faculty to mark the joint-venture agreement signed by Erasmus and Fudan Universities in 2006.
Fudan University in Shanghai is one of China’s top universities; Erasmus MC – a participant in the Netherlands Institute for Health Sciences (NIHES) – is a leading international institute for research training in the health sciences.
Qian Gu’s research paper finds that “Common variants in PCSK1 influence blood pressure and body mass index”; Ningping Zhang’s paper examines the “Frequency and clinical outcomes of flares related to nucleos(t)ide analogue therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B”; while Yuanzhi Yuan reports on the “Incidence of glaucomatous visual field loss: a ten-year follow-up from the Rotterdam Study”.
Erasmus University Rotterdam’s Erasmus MC will be participating in the China Education Expo 2009-Beijing at the China World Exhibition Hall, The Netherlands pavilion (entrance), Beijing, on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 October 2009.
