Tongji-Cologne Symposium on Translational Oncology, held between June 23rd and 25th 2021, was a resounding success, with experts and scholars participating remotely from Tongji University School of Medicine, Shanghai East Hospital, as well as the University of Cologne, School of Medicine and University hospital of Cologne in Germany, in the three-day high-level、intellectual and in-depth exchanges and discussions. The symposium provided a high-quality academic exchange platform for outstanding scholars from home and abroad, to observe the current research hotspots and discuss the frontier trends in the field of translational oncology, to enhance mutual understanding and encourage sharing of ideas among research teams, thus boosting Tongji Medicine's cooperation with Germany to a higher level. Prof. Dr. Christiane Bruns (Vice Dean of Cologne University School of Medicine / Director of the Department of General, Visceral, Tumor and Transplantation Surgery / member of Leopoldina (the German National Academy of Sciences)), Professor Dr. Konrad Brockmeier (Faculty Representative for Internationalization at the University of Cologne School of Medicine / Director of the Department of Pediatric Cardiology at the Heart Centre of the University Hospital of Cologne), Prof. Dr Prof. Jialin Zheng, Dean of Tongji University School of Medicine, and Prof. Zengguang Xu, Vice President of East Hospital affiliated to Tongji University, attended the symposium and gave the opening remarks.
由中方和德方共计十余人组成的嘉宾学者对阵团组围绕“肿瘤基因组学”、“肿瘤微环境”和“癌症免疫疗法最新进展”三个分论坛主题进行了有代表性的精彩演讲，报告内容包括：神经母细胞瘤的临床和遗传学基础、肿瘤靶向线粒体、神经内分泌肺癌的分子特征、冷等离子体在肿瘤学中的应用、胃肠道肿瘤的分子诊断等。本次论坛同时也得到了德国科隆大学肿瘤整合治疗中心（Cologne Center for Integrated Oncology (CIO)）的大力支持，该中心Dr. Cornelia von Levetzow博士系统地介绍了CIO的最新前沿多学科肿瘤诊治的理念和构架。来自双方院校的近百名研究生参与了本次论坛，并将获得由双方院校联合颁发的学时证书。每一次结束，都是另一种开始，医学院今后将会继续努力搭建类似的活动平台，进一步促进学术交流与融合、开阔学生视野、体验多元文化、促进全面发展。与会者纷纷发言表示对此十分支持，期待下一次的相聚、交流。
Organized into three sessions on the respective topic of "Tumor Genomics", "Cancer Microenvironment", and "Updates of Cancer Immunotherapy", the symposium was featured with plenty of informative and representative presentations by a dozen of Chinese and German experts and scholars, namely Clinical and genetic basis of neuroblastoma, Targeting Mitochondria in Cancer, Molecular Characteristics of neuroendocrine lung cancers, Cold Atmospheric Plasma and its Application in Oncology, Molecular diagnostics in GI tumors and etc. One of the most noteworthy endeavours was made by the Cologne Center for Integrated Oncology (CIO) to facilitate the symposium and to have the coordinator Dr. Cornelia von Levetzow share an overview of updates and highlights of the expertise and experience of CIO on multidisciplinary management of cancer patients. Nearly 100 graduate students from both universities remotely participated in the online symposium and each would receive an electronic certificate of completion jointly issued by both universities. Just as every end is a new beginning, the School of Medicine would support similar activities in its continued efforts more firmly than ever to further facilitate academic exchange and transdisciplinary integration, broaden students' international horizons, acknowledge the cultural diversity, and to promote students' all-round development. Lastly, participants expressed their great support and looked forward to the next meetup.
