Working Meeting with the School of Medicine at Chiba University
Dr. Ritter Diaz, Representative Director of JAPOLAC, recently held a working meeting with the Dean of Chiba University’s School of Medicine and faculty members from the Department of Immunology. This meeting centered on establishing modalities for academic cooperation between Chiba University and the University of Panama’s School of Medicine, with a special focus on the field of immunology.
The Dean expressed Chiba University’s keen interest in creating a framework for academic and research exchanges with the University of Panama’s School of Medicine. As part of this initiative, both parties agreed to work toward drafting a specific academic exchange agreement to facilitate the mobility of students, faculty, and researchers between the two institutions.
Beyond immunology, the Dean proposed expanding the academic cooperation to include the fields of physiology and pharmacology. Dr. Diaz committed to organizing an online meeting to introduce specialists in these areas from both universities, providing a good opportunity for professors to discuss their respective research programs and identify potential areas for joint projects.
Following the meeting, the Dean accompanied Dr. Diaz on a tour of Chiba University’s School of Medicine facilities, which were renovated two years ago and are equipped with state-of-the-art technology. Dr. Diaz also visited the university hospital, a large and technologically advanced facility built just four years ago and located next to the School of Medicine. These facilities underscore Chiba University’s dedication to delivering cutting-edge medical training and advancing research.
Fostering academic exchanges between Japanese universities and their counterparts in Latin America and the Caribbean is one of JAPOLAC’s primary objectives.
