Now operating as a single institution, CAMS and PUMC have been at the forefront of medical research innovation in China for over a century, providing world-class research facilities, opportunities and expertise. CAMS and PUMC also play a pivotal role in advising the government on health policy research and medical education reforms, and in safeguarding public health.
