The dean of the University of Miami's Miller School of Medicine, Pascal J. Goldschmidt, recently returned from Israel, where he participated in a delegation of 30 Florida business and government leaders who joined the state's governor, Rick Scott, on a trade mission. The delegation met with Israeli government and business leaders in Tel Aviv, Beersheva and Jerusalem.
According to a Miller School news release, Dean Goldschmidt has visited Israel various times, collaborating with prominent medical schools in Israel including Bar-Ilan University and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU.)
In June, the University of Miami and BGU signed a formal agreement to collaborate in student exchanges and joint research. Goldschmidt's participation in the December trip reinforced these plans as he signed a memorandum of understanding with the school for plans to collaborate on research regarding cancer, neuroscience, cardiology and diabetes, according to a press release from the Miller School.
