The Soochow University Cancer Institute (SUCI), officially established in February 2023, is a university-level research entity under Soochow University. The Institute is led by Prof. Qimin Zhan, a member (Academician) of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) and the Dean of the Suzhou Medical College of Soochow University. The development of the Institute primarily focuses on addressing major national needs in cancer prevention and treatment and advancing the frontiers of international cancer research. Through the recruitment and cultivation of high-level talent and the integration of basic and clinical research resources in oncology from Suzhou Medical College of Soochow University and its affiliated hospitals, SUCI fully leverages the strengths in cancer research. At the same time, the development of SUCI will further promote Suzhou Medical College of Soochow University as a key platform and important base for training high-level talent in cancer research in China, which will contribute to enhancing national capabilities in the diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors, as well as advancing the construction of Healthy China.
