By bringing together scientists from around the world, UM fosters innovation, nurtures talent, and strengthens Macao’s growing Chinese medicine industry. UM’s Advancements in Pharmacology and Toxicology In the 2024–2025 U.S. News & World Report global rankings, UM achieved 33rd place in pharmacology and toxicology. Research in these fields at UM is primarily driven by the State Key Laboratory of Quality Research in Chinese Medicine (SKL-QRCM) and the Institute of Chinese Medical Sciences (ICMS), alongside contributions from the university’s various other academic units. Distinguished Professor Chen Xin, director of SKL-QRCM and ICMS, says that SKL-QRCM has established robust systems for research and education. Recent initiatives include the establishment of the Macao Centre for Research and Development in Chinese Medicine (MCR&DCM), the Macao Centre for Testing of Chinese Medicine (MCTCM), and the Centre for Pharmaceutical Regulatory Sciences (CPRS). Each of these centres plays a crucial role in supporting the development of the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences in the Faculty of Health Sciences. SKL-QRCM has set international quality standards for over ten types of Chinese medicine in the United States Pharmacopeia, Chinese Pharmacopoeia, and European Pharmacopoeia. Laboratory members have received several prestigious awards, including the State Scientific and Technological Progress Award (Second Prize) in 2016 and the First Prize International Contribution Award from the World Federation of Chinese Medicine Societies in 2021. Moreover, SKL-QRCM was honoured with the Medal of Merit— Professions by the Macao SAR Government in 2022.
