Australian center to study Chinese medicine
Australia is setting up a new research center devoted to Chinese medicine:
“A new research centre into Chinese medicine will be set up next year.
The Australia-China Centre for Research in Chinese Medicines will research and develop new medicines as well as test the effectiveness of existing treatments and how they can be integrated with western medicine.
The move is a collaboration between the University of Sydney and Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, China, who will jointly fund the project, along with possible government funding.
Herbal product manufacturers had been reluctant to fund research into the efficacy of their products, said the University of Sydney’s deputy vice-chancellor for international programs, John Hearn.
“But I think we’re now moving to the stage where I think the technology is able to test them better,” said Professor Hearn, who chaired a taskforce on the World Health Organisation.
“The main objective of the centre is to validate the approach and the synergies between Chinese medicine and western medicine.”"
