<strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong>, Nov. 20, 2007: On Nov. 15, the <strong>PKU</strong>-Yale joint research center <strong>of</strong><br />

plant molecular genetics and agricultural biotechnology joined hands again with<br />

Monsanto, the largest agricultural biotechnology company in the world, to create a<br />

new international cooperation pattern to further the development <strong>of</strong> biotechnology.<br />

According to reports on a forum named ―Dialogue, Cooperation and Co-building‖<br />

organized by <strong>PKU</strong> with CEOs from multinational corporations on Nov 15th, from<br />

2007 to 2012, Monsanto will provide technological support and a research fund <strong>of</strong><br />

about a million dollars to <strong>PKU</strong>-Yale joint research center.<br />

According to Pr<strong>of</strong>. Deng Wangxing from Yale <strong>University</strong>, chairman <strong>of</strong> the joint center,<br />

<strong>PKU</strong>, Yale and Monsanto have started their cooperation since 5 years ago on such<br />

programs as the ―Monsanto Scholarship Project‖ and the ―Monsanto Talent<br />

Exchange Project‖. According to the plans, in addition to sending outstanding <strong>PKU</strong><br />

PhDs to study in Yale through the center every year, students and scholars from the<br />

two universities should have regular communications with and participate in the<br />

training <strong>of</strong> Monsanto‘s researchers and employees. It is known that 11 <strong>PKU</strong> PhDs<br />

have been sent to America for their further studies and researches through those<br />

programs.<br />

The <strong>PKU</strong>-Yale joint research center <strong>of</strong> plant molecular genetics and agricultural<br />

biotechnology was established by <strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong> and Yale <strong>University</strong> in 2001. It is<br />

led by pr<strong>of</strong>essors from both universities, and the teams, though independent from<br />

each other in their researches, share the common equipment, sources and<br />

technology in the center.<br />
