Tian Xu lectures to a class of students
at Fudan University in China.

Center promotes educational
cooperation between Yale and Fudan

Faculty from the School of Medicine recently inaugurated one of Yale's most innovative programs in China when Yale professors Dr. Richard Lifton and Tian Xu taught a class on genetics to students at Fudan University in Shanghai.

However, both professors were in New Haven at the time.

The video-conferenced lecture was the first in a planned series to make use of the new Fudan-Yale Center for Education Cooperation based in Fudan.

Monitors in both locales allow students
and teachers to see each other.

The agreement to establish the Fudan-Yale Center for Education Cooperation was signed by President Richard C. Levin in Shanghai last November.

The center plans to expand by opening up the facilities to all faculty across Yale who may wish to make use of video conferencing between Yale and Fudan either to give specific lectures or to teach a full course.
