It was an enriching experience to participate in the CASE conference in London this week, alongside academic and advancement leaders from Rutgers University and the Rutgers University Foundation. The event facilitated valuable discussions on collaborative strategies to expand learning opportunities for our students. Michael Gower and I engaged with colleagues from universities across Finland and other European nations, exchanging insights and best practices to strengthen educational advancement and institutional partnerships.

We are grateful to all of our hosts in Korea this past week and appreciate learning about the biomedical research and experiential learning opportunities available to our faculty and students. We will soon begin our final day at the K-BIOX AI Biohealthcare Drug Discovery Summit where Rutgers University, Rutgers Health and Rutgers Global participants will be able to discuss academic and research excellence at Rutgers with more than 1,000 students, academic, government, and industry leaders.

Our Rutgers delegation, including Rutgers Global and Rutgers Health, continues to have a tremendous and productive visit to South Korea. It was our pleasure to visit Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU)?and the world-class Samsung Medical Center on Wednesday. We look forward to building our partnership and exploring new opportunities for collaboration in biomedical science and engineering. University Academic Affairs at Rutgers University

Earlier this week, I was privileged to meet with leadership of CHA University in South Korea to explore how our universities can expand opportunities in experiential learning for students and connect our biomedical researchers. Throughout this week, and joined by colleagues from Rutgers Global and Rutgers Health, we are learning about South Korea’s thriving academic, industry, and government sectors and exploring exciting opportunities for future collaborations, while showcasing the Rutgers brand on a global stage, fostering opportunities to recruit top students and postdoctoral researchers who will contribute to the vibrant intellectual community at our university.

Congratulations to Dr. David Baker on winning?the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Proudly, Rutgers University?Protein Data Bank, a?U.S. data center for a global archive of 3D structure data for proteins and DNA and RNA sequences, served as an essential resource in the work for which Dr. Baker was recognized. Led by Dr. Stephen Burley, the Protein Data Bank is an international public resource supporting both basic and applied research, as well as education and training, in the biological and biomedical sciences.?Congratulations?also to Dr. Sagar Khare, professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Rutgers School of Arts and Sciences, who completed a postdoctoral fellowship developing tools for design in Dr. Baker's lab. Rutgers honored Dr. Khare with the well-earned Presidential Outstanding Scholar Award earlier this year.?

Congratulations to Dr. Bucalo on this groundbreaking and innovative program to broaden access and student success through equity-centered programming! ?#RutgersExcellence

It was wonderful to participate in the first Innovation Awards showcase hosted by Rutgers University on Sept. 24, joined by Thierry E. Klein, PhD, president of Nokia Bell Labs Solutions Research. Rutgers Research did a brilliant job of recognizing our most promising students, postdocs and faculty innovators. Congratulations to the evening's awardees! We are looking forward to growing our partnerships with venture groups and investors. Having Nokia Bell Labs adjacent to our campus in New Brunswick at HELIX NJ brings a new scale of opportunity to educate our students and translate our research! #RutgersResearch @University Academic Affairs at Rutgers University
