清华大学深圳国际研究生院生物医药与健康工程研究院（iBHE）积极拓展全球合作，与英国伯明翰⼤学、⽇本东京⼤学、⽇本东京科学⼤学（原东京工业大学）、德国慕尼⿊⼯业⼤学、英国帝国理⼯学院等十余所院校建立了常态化的互访机制，并推动建立联合培养项⽬。
在全球健康产业高速发展的背景下，2023年3月，清华大学深圳国际研究生院与日本东京工业大学签署学生交换协议，12月，iBHE的“循证健康工程专业硕士项目”加入清华大学-东京工业大学双学位项目。该项目深度融合多个学科，强调国际化联合培养、“从实验室到产业”的应用转化和对学生全球胜任力的提升。2024年开始，双方正式启动互派学生计划，目前首批参与交换的两名iBHE学子已在东京科学大学进行了数月的课程学习、实践和科研。
作为项目的亲历者，两位iBHE学子的海外研修经历对于国际化培养如何塑造新一代健康工程领域人才具有代表性意义。让我们透过他们的视角，听听他们的收获和感受。
Editor's Note
The Institute of Biopharmaceutical and Health Engineering (iBHE) at Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School has been actively expanding its global partnerships. Notably, iBHE and Institute of Science Tokyo (formerly Tokyo Institute of Technology) jointly established the "Joint Training and Exchange Program” for the Masters majoring in Evidence-Based Health Engineering. Since its launch in 2024, the two institutes have initiated a reciprocal exchange of students. Join us to see their insights and achievements from the program.
魏会文，2023级循证健康项目硕士研究生。2024年11月起在日本东京科学大学开展为期六个月的交换学习，目前在综合研究院Kenji Suzuki教授的课题组内学习并进行病理图像计算机辅助诊断的相关研究。
Wei Huiwen, a Master's student in the Evidence-Based Health Program (Class of 2023), has been engaged in a six-month academic exchange at Institute of Science Tokyo since November 2024. She is currently studying and conducting research on computer-aided diagnosis of pathological images in the research group of Professor Kenji Suzuki of the Institute of Integrated Research.
Kenji Suzuki教授在生物医学图像处理与分析、计算机辅助诊断领域深耕数年，是该领域颇具影响力的学者，成果颇多。我目前正开展基于病理图像的计算机辅助诊断的研究，在此过程中，教授与组内前辈给予了我诸多帮助与支持，与我分享组内的新进展，并在我的研究上提供新的思路与建议，使我受益匪浅。值得一提的是，这里的科研氛围更强调“节奏自洽”与“问题导向”。组内成员大多专注于各自课题，有着较强的独立性，但同时乐于交流，乐于分享自己的科研见解。研究室整体氛围轻松融洽，每当新生加入和老生毕业之际，组内师生都会聚在一起，举行欢迎会和送别会，以此表达祝福与支持，拉近彼此的距离。
在推进科研的同时，我也完成了两门课程的学习。这里的课程比较强调“引导式学习”与“知识建构”，在理论知识讲解的基础上，引入众多案例介绍和应用举例，结合小组讨论，让学生自由发挥、自主思考。课后通过作业让同学们对课堂所学进行归纳总结与提问，并运用最新知识解决实际问题，再在下一堂课对学生问题给予反馈。这种互动式的教学模式，让我逐渐完成了从被动学习向主动探索的转变，从“接受知识”到“善用知识”，学习变得更有深度，也更有动力。
Professor Kenji Suzuki has been deeply involved in the fields of biomedical image processing and analysis and computer-aided diagnosis for years. He is an influential scholar in this field and has made many achievements. I am currently conducting research on computer-aided diagnosis based on pathological images. During this process, the professor and seniors in the group have given me a lot of help and support, shared with me the new progress in the group, and provided new ideas and suggestions on my research, which has benefited me a lot. It is worth mentioning that the scientific research atmosphere here does not "pursue a sense of busyness", but emphasizes "self-consistent rhythm" and "problem-oriented". Most members of the group focus on their own topics with strong independence while they are willing to communicate and share their scientific insights. The overall atmosphere of the laboratory is relaxed and harmonious. Whenever new students join and old students graduate, teachers and students in the group will get together to hold welcome and farewell parties to express blessings and support, which bring each other closer.
While advancing scientific research, I also completed two courses. The courses here emphasize "guided learning" and "knowledge construction". On the basis of theoretical knowledge explanation, many case introductions and application examples are introduced, combined with group discussions, allowing students to learn freely and think independently. After class, students are asked to summarize and ask questions about what they have learned in class through homework, and use the latest knowledge to solve practical problems. Feedbacks, in turn, will be given to students in the coming lectures. This interactive teaching model has gradually enabled me to complete the transition from passive learning to active exploration, from "accepting knowledge" to "making good use of knowledge", and learning has become more in-depth and more motivated.

在交换的过程中，我不仅拓展了学术视野，更在独自面对复杂环境的过程中，锻炼了语言、沟通、适应与解决问题的能力。科研的推进让我对专业有了更深入的思考，课堂的探索提升了我对“学习”的理解，而生活中的点滴，则教会我如何在异地坚持自己的节奏，建立平衡而有韧性的状态。语言的障碍在一次次主动交流中逐渐消解，陌生的城市也在一步步探索中变得熟悉。在这一过程里，我学会了以更开放的视角去看待世界，也重新理解了“国际交流”的真正意义：不仅是学术上的联动，更是一种心态与能力上的更新。
During the exchange, I not only expanded my academic horizons, but also gained a lot of practice in foreign language speaking, communication, adaptation, and problem-solving abilities while facing complex environments alone. The advancement of scientific research has allowed me to deeply think about my major, thinking in the classroom has enhanced my understanding of "learning". Bits and pieces of life have taught me the way to stick to my own rhythm in a foreign place and establish a balanced and resilient state. The language barrier has gradually disappeared in active communication, and the unfamiliar city has become familiar in step-by-step exploration. In this process, I have learned to look at the world from a more open perspective and re-understand the true meaning of "international exchange": not only academic linkage, but also a renewal of mentality and ability.
陶姮羽，2023级循证健康项目硕士研究生。2025年1月起在日本科学大学开展为期六个月的交换学习，目前在生命理工学院Shoen Kume老师的课题组学习并进行iPSCs相关科学研究。
TAO Hengyu，a Master's student in the Evidence-Based Health Program (Class of 2023), has been engaged in a six-month academic exchange at Institute of Science Tokyo since January 2025. She is currently studying iPSCs-related scientific research in Professor Shoen Kume's group at the institute of Life Science and Technology.
Kume老师的实验室在iPSCs诱导胰岛细胞领域成果丰富，我的研究虽然是实验室未进行过的新的诱导方向，且在语言上存在一定沟通障碍，但是老师同学都为我提供了许多帮助。
日本实验室与国内实验室有着全然不同的实验习惯，没有细胞房，PBS等试剂需要从粉末开始自己配置……幸而实验室的前辈十分耐心地带领我从头学起，实验室的日本同学虽然不擅长英语沟通，但会提前用翻译器把日语的protocol整理为英文版给我，并一步一步带我去做。同时，实验室另一位老师Shiraki的工位与学生在一起，与我仅一人之隔。无论周末还是法定假日他都会来实验室办公，因而无论我在研究中遇到什么问题，都十分方便与他探讨。在实验方案的设计改进、试剂的选择购买等方面他都给予了我许多支持。
Kume-sensei's lab specializes in the field of inducing pancreatic cells from iPSCs. A field in which my research represented a new direction and posed initial language challenges, but the teachers and students provided me with a lot of help.
Unlike our labs in Tsinghua, there is no cell room and even basic buffers like PBS need to be prepared from powder etc. Fortunately, senior students patiently taught me every protocol step-by-step. Although those students are not good at English, they would use a translator to convert Japanese protocols into English for me and guide me through each experiment. Another mentor, Shiraki-sensei, whose desk next to the student benches, regularly works on weekends and holidays, making it easy for me to discuss any research problems. He has been invaluable in refining experimental designs and advising on reagent ordering.

此外，实验室对于数据保存的严谨态度也让我受益匪浅。我所在的实验室有一套自己的办公系统，实验室所有的公共设备和私人电脑都会统一接入系统。做完实验后，设备连接的公共电脑能直接将实验的原始数据上传到系统中，个人电脑连入实验室Wi-Fi后便能随时查看。此外，个人的实验方案、汇报PPT等都要求及时上传存档，这样使得大家能便捷地相互学习研究内容。此外，进入实验室后会领取到实验记录本，需要按照要求详细记录所有实验操作和结果，且日期与内容要与线上存档的数据与方案保持一致。实验本
能带离实验室，但所有人都可以翻阅他人的记录本来学习所需的实验protocol。
In addition, the lab's rigorous attitude towards data management has benefited me greatly. The lab has its own office system, and all public equipment and private computers are connected to the system. Every instrument and workstation are linked to a central server: raw data uploads directly after each run, and any authorized computer on the lab’s Wi-Fi can access it instantly. In addition, personal experimental plans and presentation slides must be archived promptly in this system, which makes it easy to learn about other people's research. In addition, after entering the lab, you will receive an experiment notebook in which every procedure and result must be recorded in detail, with dates matching the online records. Although notebooks stay in the lab, anyone can freely consult them to learn established protocols.
感谢学校和导师的支持，让我有这个开拓国际视野提升自己的机会，也希望我的经历鼓励更多同学走出国门拥抱世界。
Finally, I am deeply grateful to Tsinghua and my advisors for their support, giving me this opportunity to broaden my international vision and improve myself. I also hope my experience inspires more students to venture abroad and embrace the world.
