BCR is proud to announce the "BCR PhD Scholarship Ceremony," hosted by the University of Sydney, Australia.

On May 20, 2019, BCR was invited by the University of Sydney to co-host the establishment ceremony of the BCR PhD Scholarship held at the University of Sydney Brain and Mind Centre.

Through funding this scholarship, BCR aims to provide long-term support for the talent introduction program of the Brain and Mind Centre. As for USYD, it aims to utilize the BCR PhD Scholarship to recruit young talents from prestigious universities globally and to take advantage of artificial intelligence technology in the field of medical imaging to accurately diagnose and treat brain-related diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and Multiple Sclerosis.

During this meaningful event, BCR senior executives, world-renowned scientific experts, as well as the world's top three clinical professors, the COO, and CEO of the Brain and Mind Centre were present.

(Professor John D. Pollard (AO) and Professor Patricia Armati (AM, BSc, MSc, PhD) delivered a speech on the establishment of the Nerve Research Foundation.)

Professor Pollard is internationally recognized for his reputation in the fields of neuropathy and multiple sclerosis. In 2005, he was awarded an AO for his contributions to neurology, particularly in multiple sclerosis.

Professor Armati is the Founder, Co-Director, and Vice President of the Nerve Research Foundation. She is also a member of the Advisory Committee of the Institute of Neuromuscular Research at Westmead Children's Hospital.

It is universally known that in the medical imaging field, "AI" is still in its infancy, but we believe that as technology matures, not only will it enhance our working efficiency, but it will also aid in improving the accuracy of medical imaging, which will contribute to various treatments for patients with brain diseases. We are convinced that AI, the new advanced technology, will be applied in every aspect of the medical field to serve a better society and benefit mankind.

(Professor John D. Pollard, BCR Sales Director Anna Zhang)

Undoubtedly, the funding of the BCR PhD Scholarship will significantly promote the introduction of medical professional talents. What's more, coupled with the trend of our times, the excellent match of "Talents + AI" will create profound achievements in clinical medicine and denervation in the brain and mind. BCR will operate with the integrity of the purpose of "Developing medicine and dedicating to society" to expand its business based on national health and further explore uncharted territory in the medical field. BCR expects that emerging talents with professional knowledge and a dedication spirit can become a solid foundation for medical development."
