Members of the DKU One Health Team Visit Jiangsu CDC
On March 12, 2021, members of the Duke Kunshan University One Health Team visited collaborators at Jiangsu Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention (JS CDC), which is the provincial public health agency located in Nanjing, China. The group met with Director Bao Changjun, the Chief of the Communicable Disease Prevention and Control Department, and other JS CDC experts. During the visit, the DKU One Health Team was invited to tour the JS CDC biosafety level 2 and 3 labs where provincial communicable disease testing programs are carried out. Three DKU undergraduate students who joined the trip reported “learn[ing] a lot about how the provincial authorities perform their duties,” “how to seek opportunities for new collaborations,” and “about the challenges and possibilities of future zoonotic disease research.”
