The government has always strongly encouraged industry-academia partnerships that facilitate the commercialization of research. Dean Song placed great importance on this kind of collaboration with a top-tier team from Pfizer Pharmaceutical. It was also an excellent opportunity for publicity and to showcase their work to faculty and students.
After Dean Song finished his call with President Xie of Pfizer Pharmaceutical, more calls came flooding in, as if on cue.
Even for someone as experienced and worldly as Dean Song, this came as a pleasant surprise.
Two more top-tier pharmaceutical giants, Johnson & Johnson and GSK, also called. After Dean Song "accidentally" let slip the news about Pfizer, both teams expressed their desire to hold academic seminars at Jinggang University Medical College. They also offered to provide a number of high-paying, targeted positions!
