The University's strategic decision to establish the MSD will facilitate the synergy of medical units in academic research and disciplinary development, and with the newly established Faculty of Innovation Engineering, they will become the twin engines of the University, and jointly become a new platform for providing high-quality education and research transformation in Macao, the Greater Bay Area, and the country.
