(5/23/2010) Dear all, As you might have witnessed, Our Chinese community has grown into one of the major research forces in harvard, especially in the life science area. In order to promote and facilitate cutting edge life science research among our chinese community, under the guidance of the university and the support of our chinese NYC consulate, we initiated this first chinese rationale based research competition. Thanks all those who joined the competition and after extensive professional evaluation by our faculty consultants, we have selected six winners for this years's Harvard Chinese Life Science Annual Distinguished Research Award.
