Insights from the Director: Making Grand Visions a Reality

摘要

The director of CBMS has grand visions for the institute. As a trained immunologist and a pioneer of epitope-based rational vaccine design, Yuzhang Wu has had a successful research career. He is a winner of the National Outstanding Youth Science Fund and a designated Changjiang Scholar Distinguished Professor for the Chinese Ministry of Education, one of the most prestigious distinctions for Chinese scholars. When he became the director of CBMS in 2011, he immediately saw opportunities to make an impact in three areas: creating an internationally trained faculty, boosting translational research, and revamping pedagogical strategies.
