The Zhongshan Institute for Drug Discovery (ZIDD) is deepening cooperation with Hong Kong and Macao universities in developing biotechnology.

Deputy Director Zuo Xiaoyuan said the institute appeals to universities in the two SARs due to its abundant scientific research resources and cost advantages.

ZIDD has established preliminary cooperation mechanisms with Hong Kong Polytechnic University, the University of Macau, and the Macau University of Science and Technology in carrying out research projects, training doctoral students, and sharing instruments and equipment.
