Deepen the connotation of university-enterprise cooperation, promote the deep integration of industry, academia, research, and application, and broaden the pathways for talent cultivation and scientific research innovation, on November 6, 2025, a delegation from the School of Materials and Chemistry at Shanghai University of Science and Technology visited Shanghai Jiamuyao Medical Technology Co., Ltd. for a special exchange. The delegation was led by Cao Ying, Party Secretary of the School, and included Zhu Li, Special Invited Party Building Organizer and President of the Alumni Council; Dong Xiaoliang, Deputy Party Secretary; Li Shengjuan, Vice Dean; and Chen Tianju, Part-time Counselor. The company’s founder, Li Lifu, an alumnus of the Materials Forming and Control Engineering program at Shanghai University of Science and Technology, warmly received the delegation. The two sides engaged in in-depth discussions on topics such as scientific research collaboration, talent recruitment, and the construction of practical training bases.
Shanghai Jiamuyao Medical Technology Co., Ltd., a benchmark enterprise in the field of high-end interventional medical devices, focuses on the research, development, and manufacturing of energy platforms for comprehensive solutions to complex intravascular lesions. The company has established a complete underlying technology platform and industrial system, achieving fully independent research, development, and layout in core areas such as mechanical architecture, electrical architecture, software architecture, and complex algorithms. In 2023, the company’s core product, the Shockwave Therapy System, completed clinical trial follow-ups, with product registration and commercialization plans advancing simultaneously, demonstrating strong technological innovation capabilities and market potential.
During the symposium, General Manager Li Lifu fondly recalled his study years at Shanghai University of Science and Technology and shared his entrepreneurial journey of transitioning from the automotive sector to the medical industry. He candidly stated that the systematic training from the Materials Forming and Control Engineering program at his alma mater not only laid a solid technical foundation but also shaped his ability to think across disciplines. The SUST motto of 'Faith, Righteousness, Diligence, Love, Reflection, Learning, Ambition, and Vision' has been the most valuable spiritual wealth on my entrepreneurial path, he said. Based on the company's development practices, Li Lifu elaborated on its innovative explorations in the field of medical-engineering integration, focusing on the research and development directions of interventional therapy technologies in cardiology. He also proposed collaboration ideas for joint research with the school on topics such as core material optimization and precision manufacturing process upgrades.
In the segment on talent cultivation and employment cooperation, the school leaders and General Manager Li Lifu held lively discussions on issues such as graduate internships and the construction of career development pathways. Secretary Cao Ying introduced the school's disciplinary strengths in materials and chemistry and its distinctive approaches to talent cultivation, emphasizing that university-enterprise cooperation is a key pathway to enhancing the quality of talent development. General Manager Li Lifu highly recognized the professional competence of SUST students and explicitly expressed his intent to recruit them: Jiamuyao always welcomes outstanding students from SUST's School of Materials and Chemistry to join us. We will provide graduates with broad research platforms and growth opportunities, achieving resonance between personal development and corporate progress.
After the symposium, under the guidance of General Manager Li Lifu, the school delegation visited the company's R&D center and production workshop. They gained a detailed understanding of the product development process, core technology applications, and quality control systems, experiencing firsthand the company's innovative atmosphere and industrial strength.
This exchange activity built a bridge for precise university-enterprise alignment, not only deepening consensus on scientific research collaboration and talent recruitment but also consolidating development synergy through the bond of alumni. In the future, the School of Materials and Chemistry at SUST and Shanghai Jiamuyao Medical Technology Co., Ltd. will continue to deepen their cooperation, explore new models for the integration of industry, academia, and research, and create a community for collaborative innovation and talent cultivation, injecting new momentum into the high-quality development of the medical and health industry.
