Sweden's medical university Karolinska Institute's President Harriet Wallberg-Henriksson Tuesday said her institute is looking forward to having more cooperation with China.

"We already have a lot of cooperation with many universities and hospitals in China, especially in research of cancer," Wallberg-Henriksson told Xinhua after a journalist seminar being held in Karolinska Institute in Stockholm to commemorate 200 years anniversary of the founding of the institute.

She said in recent years, almost every year there are over 100 Chinese PhD students coming to Karolinska Institute to do research in various fields such as breast cancer, Parkinson, and others.

Wallberg-Henriksson also said she would go to Shanghai to attend this year's Shanghai Expo and also attend a seminar organized by Chinese medical universities to conduct academic exchanges.

"We are trying to have more cooperation in the future, it is in good momentum," she added.

Established on December 13, 1810 with the order from King Karl XIII, Karolinska Institute is holding various activities throughout the whole year to celebrate its 200 years of history.

Karolinska Institute becomes famous around the world partly because the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine is decided here every year since 1895.
