Beijing University set up a biomedicine research center Tuesday to carry out interdisciplinary study in the field.

The research center involves a total investment of 5 million yuan (US$600,000) from Beijing University, the most renowned university in China.

To carry out biomedical research along with other subjects has become a trend among world famous universities.

The new research center will initiate four interdisciplinary research projects on biomedical imaging, biomechanics, the environment and health and bio-information management.

It will also organize seminars and offer other academic exchange opportunities to promote the development of China's biomedicine research.
