QAU and CNCB-China Sign MoU to Strengthen Collaboration

Quaid-i-Azam University (QAU), Islamabad and the China National Center for Bioinformation (CNCB), Beijing, signed a Memorandum of Understanding
to deepen bilateral research and training collaboration.The MoU was signed by QAU, Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Niaz Ahmad Akhter and CNCB Director Prof. Dr. Yungui Yang.

This agreement renews and expands a partnership initiated in 2016 through the efforts of Prof. Dr.
Amir Ali Abbasi and formalized with a five-year MoU in 2017. The earlier MoU delivered notable
outcomes, including joint research projects, student training programs, the establishment of
the international Biodiversity and Health Big Data (BHBD) Alliance, and a series of joint symposia and conferences hosted at CNCB (Beijing) and QAU, NCB, Islamabad.

The new MoU reflects the visionary leadership of Vice Chancellor, Prof. Dr. Niaz Ahmad Akhter in advancing international collaborations to elevate QAU’s global standing and to create world-class training opportunities for QAU researchers. It also aligns with Pakistan’s national policy encouraging
high-level scientific and technological partnerships with friendly nations, particularly China.
