This is a file photo taken on July 16, 2004 by geneticists Allison Murdoch (left) and Miodrag Stojkovich of the Life Centre at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom. Allison Murdoch was responsible for the research. Newcastle University is one of the famous universities in the UK that has been continuously developed from the Newcastle School of Medicine and Surgery established in 1834, and ranks among the top in the UK education rankings. The school has been named the "Best University of the Year in the UK in 2000" by the authoritative British "Times", and ranked 13th in the latest "Times" rankings in 2001. The school is a member of the joint group "RUSSELLGROUP" of 17 major research universities in the UK, and is also an important participating department in national-level strategic decision-making issues. The university is located in Newcastle Tyne, the fifth largest city in England, and the campus extends to the city center. Newcastle Tyne is famous for the friendliness of its residents, the high quality of life and the relatively low life expenses. It has always welcomed foreign students. The school library has won awards and is known as the best regional university library in the UK. It has a collection of more than 1 million books and more than 5,000 periodicals. Students also have the opportunity to access and use the most advanced information technology and international telecommunications networks. The school provides computer services. There are more than 3,000 high-speed internet-connected end points distributed throughout the campus, and it is connected to the extremely high-speed SuperJANPDETH service. Only 14 locations in the UK have such connections. The school's language center offers English and other language courses, and can also be used for self-study. The center has a video replay system, a microcomputer with language learning software and satellite TV broadcasting foreign languages. University dormitories and student dormitories can accommodate 5,000 students (for meals). Overseas students who want to stay can generally be allocated. There are many private rental houses near the school, and the rent is lower than the market price. Students can ask the school for a list if they need it. There are several clinics near the campus (one of which is located on campus). The staff of the Student Counseling Center and the International Student Office have rich experience in solving the difficulties encountered by overseas students, and organize weekend orientation activities to help students adapt to life in the UK as soon as possible. The university has complete sports facilities, including an 18-hole golf course. Comments: Newcastle University is worthy of being a famous university in the UK. Its biomedical research is particularly at the forefront of the world. It is eye-catching. Cloning technology is a double-edged sword. If it is not good, it will happen.
